About the best thing you can do for your truck is to pull a set of front discs from a late '70s F150 from the kingpins out. Get the whole setup, booster and all.
As for hoses/lines, replace them with new stuff; the rubber dries out and the steel lines rust. Also replace the master cylinder, they're ridiculously cheap too. Also take a close look at the rotors/pads and replace them if they're worn. It is your brake system after all!
