that makes sense too. I bet there is more than one reason. that looks great man. flaring stainless must have been fun!

OP, would you mind posting a couple pictures of your brake setup and what part number valve you used? I’m in the middle of doing an ABS delete on my 95 2500 and am just curious how you did yours. I value function over form on things like this, but I don’t want it looking like the factory yarn ball of ABS crap either.
I totally brain farted today when I started looking up proportioning valve stuff. I forgot that I’m swapping in a disc brake 11.5 AAM right now too so I don’t need a proportioning valve. Your setup looks great though man! I spy a NV4500! Did you truck come with it or are you swapping? I have 2 454 NV4500 4x4 trucks. Ones a 95 the others a 97. The 97 is the parts truck for my rust free 95

Thanks man. My truck was originally a 5.7 auto but that pic is from the middle of my Cummins/NV4500/NP205 swap. All the details about that can be seen here:

What is the bend radius spec for that hose? The hose connected to the booster-end port on the master cylinder look like it's bent too tightly.
That line going up and over looks like a great place to hide an air bubble. I always recommend the copper /nickel line. The braided lines should only be used where the rubber ones used to be. Maybe drop the prop valve down so the line can drop temporally and re-bleed.The loops are engineered for a reason but it’s not for cooling. It is to accommodate the body of the truck flexing independently from the chassis.
I went with braided lines after failing to properly flair stainless hard lines...

What size was the original brake tube to the rear brakes?
First Guess: 1/4".
Using 3/16 hose is probably a mistake.

Overall, removing ABS is almost always a mistake.
