I'm about ready to begin this project but I have a question about the brake lines. Is it OK to cut and re-flare the stock brakelines to neaten up the job or do they have to be a specific length? I know a couple of you just coiled up the brakeline to take up the slack. The reason I'm asking is because my Dad just had to replace a brakeline on his 78 Ford pickup and the new brakeline came coiled from the parts store. The only thing I can think of would be that the front and rear need to be the same length so they have even line pressure. therefore, you would need to coil the front one up so it could be as long as the one that runs to the rear brakes. I just don't want ot hack up my brake lines so I figured I would ask first.
