I have a 68 conv I am currently doing a frame off on,over the years I converted it from manual drum to power disc. The steering knuckles,p/valve,etc were off a 71 lemans conv. I bent my own brake lines then,but had to use a union fitting on the frt-rear line which all worked fine.my question is now I want to use a 1pc stainless line,so i guess i should order one for a 71 lemans? the p/valve is on the frame on a lemans,doesnt a 68 chevelle use the metering valve on the booster? I may have answered my own question,but just wanted to be sure. thanks for the help

Right Stuff detailing (http://www.rightstuffdetailing.com) does, and I think Inline Tubes (http://www.inlinetubes.com) can custom make the line with any fittings on it you want. Shouldn't be a problem. I know the drum brakes Chevelles have the distribution block down on the frame so a drum brake car will likely be the correct line (if not a disc car, too).
I did something wierd with my setup by retaining the drum brake distribution valve on the frame and putting an adjustable prop valve on the front to rear line. I spoke with someone at Right Stuff (I think the owner, he never IDed himeself as such but I think it was the same name) and we worked out what lines I needed from a disc car and which from a drum car. It worked out well.
