Vacuum line What's best???

51 Chevy 3/4 ton. My cab and bed are off and will be ready to put back on in two or three weeks (fingers crossed) and most everything I can do at this point is done except the brake booster vacuum line. I don't want to just run a rubber hose. Is there a "cooler" hook up than a rubber hose for this?

I always run hard line with rubber at the booster end end ( a inch or so ).

I use a 90 degree brass fitting into the intake manifold that has a opening for a double flared 5/16 tubing and then route it down to the booster.

I use braided hose for everything. It works and it looks good, too!
