The parts houses do not show the soft line that connects to the block mounted on the axle for a 70 Cuda. They show the line for a 71-74 Cudas, though. Is there any reason the 71 line wouldn't work on a 70?

The top end that connected to the hard line they would all be 3/16" female inverted flare. If the brass block end was compatible and the hose was long enough you'd be good. With my arched springs I needed a longer one from a 1/2 Ton pickup. Dont have an exact yes or no ans for you but here's a BTT

At stock height you can use a front brake hose, the rubber section is the same length as stock, the metal fitting at the axle is about 3/4" longer...And the fitting thread size & pitch is the same...

When I did my old 1970 Challenger, I ran into the same issue - no rear hose for 1970 E-body.

I found 1970 B-body was avail. So,,,, thats what I used, never had a problem

I think the 71-74 E-body rear hose has the brass block molded into the hose, where as 1970 models the block is a seperate piece
