Hello so I am replacing all of the brake lines on my truck, 2000 F250 7.3 extended cab short bed. Does anyone know where I can find a brake line diagram so that I can make sure I don’t miss anything and then I run everything correctly. I’ve already replaced the brake line that goes from the master cylinder to the driver side front caliper and I’ve also replace the one that goes along the engine crossmember over to the passenger side.

In my April 1999, the front lines, and the front half of the rear line had some kind of coating on them, and are still in original condition. The lines on the rear axle itself, and the rear half of the rear line were raw, uncoated. They had to be replaced. I used bulk line and fittings and fabbed them up myself. When I did the 1/4" rear line afew months ago, I used the Nickel coated line. Was pretty easy to flare, but a little more difficult to bend. The repairs will outlast me.
