That's a known issue with most Chevy trucks. I had an 04 and ditched it, my wife's brother has done brake lines on both of his chevys
Yeah it is becoming common knowledge now.

I did the lines on my Burb a few months back. I was pissed. It was not fun.
Yeah I didn’t want to attempt it at all. But I sucked it up, laid on my back on the concrete and got it done. Took me all day. I used every cuss word I’ve learned and even created a few new ones. But it don’t done.From what I saw today with my truck there is no way on earth I wanted anything to do with this.
10 years ago maybe.
Did you get the A/C Delco factory kit or did you build/bend yours.

I went right tk Napa, they had a Dorman stainless full kit for like $180 if I recall. Fit fine.
It’s possible! Have to cut the lines off there, install them in order. It works, just takes time... I wouldn’t do it again...From what I saw there was no way I could get into the anti-loc controller where it was located.
Ahhhhhhhh
Found a 9 inch 28 spline 3.25 traction lock hogs head fresh rebuild for $300
Ahhhhhhhh
It was sold when I called
I am gonna go cry now!

So I stop at one of my go to LGS yesterday for the standard abuse.
When I walk back to my truck I see a puddle of fluid even with the drivers seat.
Stoop down, frame is wet, fluid is brake fluid. There is a bundle of lines that are rusted to hell.
Pop hood, master is near empty. Off to the house. Crawl under and the anti-lock body is inside the frame tucked in tight. No way in hell I am getting into it. Call my guys at Marwood tire. Drop it off this A.M. and find every freaking line on the truck is rusted out.
So AC Delco makes a factory replacement line kit. All pre-bent bolt on lines for an 04 GMC. Who does that. Find out it is all to common on them.
It is sitting on stands with the cab and the bed lifted off so they can get to the anti-locks and run the new lines. Should be done late today 1st thing tomorrow.
I will be $900 lighter in the Wallet.
sure glad for you it let go parked......would have been one hell of a ride when you needed them......very lucky.....
That sucks CM. Replacing brake lines can be a serious pita. Never would have imagined there was a kit with pre bent lines available.
I spent a good part of the late afternoon fixing a vacuum leak on my moms car (in the driveway). I about froze with the wind luck I didn't get pneumonia lol

Probably would have ended up like Murphys "fresh rebuild" anyway
That was my thought, hopefully whoever ended up with it got a good deal and not the shaft. I'm not sure how much "rebuilding" you can do for $300.
