Brake line size???

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone knew the size of the metal brake line that runs down the frame from the connector to the rear? My dad's 89 F150 2wd 5.0 line has rusted thru where it is held on by the plastic clip on the frame.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Thanks all, It looked 3/16" but I just got a quick look at it. It looks to be about 5ft long. I'll go pick one up this afternoon.
Thanks again,
Jimmy
