they want like 32$ a side.

i also looked up 79 F150 and they only want like 20 or so

the only hoses i have read that people use is the braided stainless from BC

If you're using the EB/F150 calipers, then you'll need 3/8-24 threaded banjo bolts. If you're running the T-bird calipers, those are 7/16-20, similar to the Chevy calipers if I'm not mistaken.

The fitting on the other end will depend on your hard lines. My '77 EB hard lines were 7/16-24 SAE inverted flare. I should have converted to 3/8-24 SAE inverted flare since I was remaking the hard lines anyway, but apparently I wasn't thinking ahead. I then had my braided stainless hoses built to match my hard lines and calipers. I believe they are 16 inches long with a universal 20 degree sweep 3/8" banjo fitting on the one end and 7/16-24 SAE female inverted flare on on the other.
