I need a favor from someone, can someone post a pic of their c6 trans lines, hooked up? I had some severly jacked up lines when I bought the truck and now I am at the hydraulics shop scratching my head trying to figure new ones out. I know that prebent kits are sold, but I have a newer model c6 and am afraid I will have to cut the fittings off to replace with the correct ones.
Thanks!

Anyone?, getting desperate now, down to getting these line in to start the motor. I had new lines made to follow the old ones, but they are useless because of the headers. I need to know where the lines are located, as I have no clue where they are supposed to go, down the frame, beside the motor, etc.

They run down beside the oil pan. should have a triangular kink where they go over the bell housing. one of them basically goes straight forward and one makes a 90 5 or six inches before the radiator so it can cross to the other side of the radiator.
I will try to take the pictures tomorrow, mine are inline tube reproductions and they did not fit exactly like stock, but there are close.

This picture is about as good as I'll be able to show you:

In this picture the lines are pulled back slightly from the engine, but they're typically run along the oil-pan rail, and attached via a clamp/clip at one or two of the oil pan bolts.
