- The cab of the truck floats on rubber mounts, independently from the frame of the truck.
- The master cylinder is mounted to the cab's firewall.
- The brake distribution lines are mounted to the frame.

Those coils of pipe allow the two (cab/frame) to move about without stretching/breaking the lines that connect the two (master cylinder / frame mounted brake lines).

Make sense?

Replacements don't have to be pretty.
