“1998 Gmc sierra. A car cut in front of my truck and I had to apply the brakes very hard. When I did this ,the brake line that runs along the frame rail failed at the bend where it joins with the rear brake hose. The failure appeared to be from rust. This,I feel ,was due to poor location. I have a 1955 chevy pickup , that until 1 year ago still had its original lines still working.”
