Brake Line/Fitting Size

I broke one of the old brake lines from the master cylinder to the brake valve. Figured I would just replace both of them while I'm at it. I am away from the truck (76 f150 302) and realized that I don't know what size the lines and fittings are. I seem to remember one end being larger that the other. Anyone knw what size these are to help me avoid an additional trip back to town?

Betcha Mil1ion would know!! When I had to replace a brake line I just told my shop what it was for and where it went and they gave me one. No measurements needed.

the lines are 3/16. the fittings are the problem. usually 1 is a standard line. the other has 1/4 size tube nuts on one end and one that has to be matched on the other. the best thing to do is take it in to match up. go to a napa they have adaptor lines about 8 inches long. they have the correct sizes on them. i just did the same on my truck.

That's what I found out today. Took them off when I got home so I could take them back to NAPA for the match. So much for shortcuts.
