Here's a thing. I replaced all the brake hoses and am almost done replacing all the hard lines with CuNiFer lines. Not too bad of a job as it bends so easily. I bought the Duralast hoses, 2 for the front and the 1 for the rear. The fronts were drop in replacements. But the rear, Duralast 88284, was not. It is just a standard brake hose with male threads on the end that mounts to differential. But what was there (bolted to rear axle) is a integrated brake line union and hose combo. Couldn't find a direct replacement anywhere(sorry picture is upside down). Assumed someone replaced this a long time ago.

So I bought a brake line adapter (Earl's 972054ERL) that was similar so that the Duralast hose would work. Installing these is nearest priority right now so I can get done with brakes.
