Front Flex Brake Hoses

I am trying to replace the front flex lines on my S120 4X4, the ones that just came in the mail that were supposed to be right for a 4x4 S are too short, I believe them to be for the 2 wheel drive model although they were listed for a 4 by. A rough comparison shows them to be about 4'' too short. Does anyone have the correct Raybestos or Wagner number for these or can steer me to a good company for build them yourself flex lines?

I used Raybestos #BH4960 back when I had an S120 4X4.

Re: Front Flex Brake Hoses

I recently went through the same issue.

Rock Auto lists BH4900 as the part for front or rear. Well, no.
I measured the old brake hose at about 21". I ordered BH24458 which measured at 21 1/4" and is listed as the rear hose.
The BH4960 is listed as 21 1/8" so either should work as long as the ends are correct.

I have yet to install mine at the truck is in remote storage. I have time to do this work over the Christmas holidays.
56 S-120 4x4 started the whole mess.
S-132 dually longbed,
S-120 4x4 Travelall,
S144 Forestry truck,
S160 Holmes tow
