1956 F500 Brake Lines

Evening! Successfully transported "Ethel" over a 75 mile trip to her new home. I'm starting to dig into the truck a bit. Need new brake lines (for starters) and am wondering,

1) Will F100 brake lines fit between the rears of my F500?
2) If not does anyone know of a supplier of stainless lines prebent?
3) Any thoughts on the power booster (I think it's called) requiring tear down after sitting for 15 years or should it be ok?

Any and all thoughts on these brakes are welcome!

F-100's use smaller diameter tubing, and with your wheelbase, nothing is the same length anyway.
