Brake line sizes

I have a 1993 f150 5.0 v8 long bed 2wd. Brake lines are bad not sure what sizes I need to order. I heard the fronts are a different size then the lines to the rear. Was told 3/16 for fronts. Not sure though

I bought my truck without brakes. The line that runs to the rear had rusted through. I did the same as you and replaced them all with stainless steel.

Sure you can buy a roll or straight sections of line and bend it up yourself and it might be a little cheaper but it isn’t worth the hassle to me when I can install something that is already bent up to fit.

And doing double flares on stainless is not fun.

Nicopp tubing is all I use. Stainless is great. Nicopp won't rust either, bends without tools and flares like a dream. All for $40 per roll. You can re line an entire truck for under $100
