brake line fittings/ help

1960 f100. Can anyone tell me what size fitting goes around the the brake line and screws into the rear wheel brake cylinder? Can I get one at a local auto shop? Thanks

You should be able to get the right size brake line at a local auto parts store.
Take the old line with you so they can get the right size then all you will need to know is how long it has to be to go from wheel cyl to the other fitting.

Thanks FuzFace2. I don't have any parts except that I know I have new rear wheel cylinders. Hoping there is a size and type of fitting or a range of fittings I can request if I can't find an OLD TIMER at the parts store. I at least know that the old line used is 3/16".

It is a standard size, no problem to get. It is SAE units not metric.
