Have a 72 Challenger with rear drum brakes. Will be swapping the 8.75 for a Dana 60 (Strange 60). Can anyone tell me if the OE 8.75 hard lines will fit the Dana 60, or if I need to order new lines?

I did the swap some years ago, I just used the same fittings and flared up some new hard lines back then. Now we use AN -3 brake hoses on the axle.

Get new lines.
Ordered new lines from Dr Diff when I got my S60. His supplier lost their CAD file so not sure when I will get them. Contacted another company, Inline Tube, and they could not say if the Dana 60 lines would fit the same as the Strange 60. This is why I'm asking the questions.

Chryco is right, the major auto parts chains carry many premade lengths, also they loan flair tools if you need to cut and flair a length.
