??????
You mean brake lines?
You might want to get a hold of a factory service manual and familiarize yourself with that axle if you plan to work on this stuff yourself...

more than likely your front end is a D44. I have an 87 W150 318 auto with a D44 up front. Would also like to know whats involved with the manual hub conversion.

D 44 has a 4X4 motor accuator that has to be locked when using the manual hubs.
