Brake line flare nut thread size/part id help


I've never heard of double wall brake line. A double flare for sure is required. And that is what I thought he meant by " double wall "...

Alright, I can confirm that the thread size for both ends of the rear passenger side hard brake line is 3/8-24. I had to cut the line at the block and then lightly hammered an 11mm socket onto the nut. It came off pretty easy. I bent my Nicopp line and got both of those hooked up. It's pretty atrocious looking, but it is in. Line bending is definitely a skill that needs some practice.

I went to go put my drum on and I am getting hung up on the pads. The wheel cylinder is compressed in and the shoes are where they need to be on the top, but I can tell from looking at the backing plate that towards the bottom on the right shoe, I'm not resting on a contact point. I have the wheel adjuster closed all the way. I was able to shift that shoe over to the correct position, but when I do that, it shifts the left shoe and I still can't get it on. The shoes I have came in a crate of parts from the guy i bought the truck from. I thought, maybe these are the wrong shoes? I went to advanced auto and bought some so I could compare.

The shoe that has the rivets on the pad is a new one i pulled from the crate o parts. The non rivet one is the one i just got from advanced auto. The old one i pulled off's brake pad position matches the one i bought from advanced auto. The metal frame the pads sit on are the same size on all of them. So i'm not sure if the position of the pad is what is hanging me up. They have the same amount of brake pad, they are just positioned on the metal in different spots.
