Dana 30 Chevy Disc Conversion Question

I did my Dana 30 Chevy disc swap 5-7 years ago. I am replacing all the bushings for a separate project and I want to replace the brake hoses. The hoses at the calipers are so corroded I can't believe they still work.

When shopping for replacement parts what make / model / year parts do I ask the counter guy for? Hoses, calipers, pads. I know I need to make up new steel lines.

Thanks!

A lot of different things will work. Generally '74 Chevy Blazer 4WD (350 V8, Automatic) should get you something that will work. Might be a little different than you have now. But still usable.

... Yes I'll say 74 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 pickup or Blazer 4x4 Caliper & Caliper hoses.
... My cALIPER HOSE I USED A 3/4 COURSE NUT iT WENT on the outside of the nut & Held the hose in place IN THE BRACKET...
... jUST IN CASE Everco Used to make a Brake line called Bundy Flex. You could bend it & It didn't chimp.
... & A couple more numbers that work on that chevy conversion.
... Are seals 4250S
.. Disk Pads are D52 . & I'M SORRY BUT I PREFER THE CHEAPEST PADS YOU CAN BUY. the expensive one make noise. Cheap ones stop great for 35K miles.
Bearings are A35 R A37 or A45's.. That's from memory 20 years ago. SO.
& THE Inner spindle bearing is SBK1... I like the NAPA SBK1 Best because last time I bought those they had 4 items in the box. every one else only had 3 parts.
...... edit.
& I like just the 1973 BRONCO MASTER CYL. For the replacement. That all I've bought on about 3 or 4 swaps.
