Recently picked up this 49' and upon backing it off the trailer the rear steel brake line started leaking.
I'm looking replace all the lines with prebent to save some time vs hand bending, also looking to do the fuel. Now I've found that a company that has everything for 50 Cranbrook and was wondering if these will work, or maybe another model Chrysler/Dodge?
I will be corrected if I am wrong but I think any '49 Chrysler product will have the same brake lines and the fuel lines should be the same too.
The only exception might be anything with eight cylinders.
BTW that is a nice looking car!

Welcome, Joseph!
Love the grille on those '49's!
Please keep the photos coming.

I've sent my original brake and fuel lines to inlinetube.com for duplication since they haven't had patterns for 1950. They did a great job at a reasonable price (can't remember exactly how much). The lines they've made fit perfectly.

Thanks guys! I'll be in touch with inlinetube soon.
Really can't wait to take it out on a cruise.
