Insight on new '67 rear brake hose not fitting?

Not an answer, but the factory is not always, "right," either. In the ?late 70s? Dodge pickups came with hoses that were too short from the factory. This became evident when you see on on a hoist --the suspension is hanging at it's full extension, and the front hoses were "bent back" at a sharp angle tight against one of the fittings.
