Reach out to John Abend on the "1965-1970 Cadillac Collective" on Facebook. I'm sure he has a box of those somewhere.

Here's what you want.  Be careful with using an old (unused) brake hose, they can degrade sitting on the shelf.

I just replaced mine, had it made locally.   Call around to a place (auto parts stores or places that service hydraulic equipment) that makes a/c hoses or brake hoses, assuming you live in or near a large city.  They did it while I waited.  As it was a brake hose, he had to test it, it held at 3000 psi IIRC.

Is this something In Line Tube could make?

Not hard to find.

I agree with not using an old hose. Is it worth it if your 4800-5000 pound car will not stop????????????  Maybe if you need to think about it when a mugger says your money or your life.   :) :) :) :)

Just take the hose off and to a NAPA store.  Ask them for “..one like this”  If they don’t have one exactly the same length take one a bit longer. 

That’s what I had to do for my 68 ELDO.  The hoses I bought online were a bit too short.  I think the manufacturer was trying to save money.

It should be the same as an older S10 pick-up - do the on line research or have it made up locally.

You can get this hose from RockAuto.  For some reason, it only shows available under the 1970 Buick Electra (same body as the Cadillac).  I purchased this a year ago and it was an exact match.  No vendor has the correct rear hose listed for the 1970 Deville so there must be a problem with the parts database that everyone uses.
