If its only a couple brake lines--not much ( 20 bucks in parts if YOU can do it)---but
these older trucks are known for rusted lines, and it can really escalate to a big job--
I:E:--wheel cylinders-blocks--pressure valves-----depends how bad she is underneath, and how far you want (need ) to go.
Good luck.

use vise grips to crimp the bad line.
use a lot of rust buster on the emergency brake so it can be used to stop.
take your time.
i drove from cleveland to columbus with only the ebrake when i was young and dumb.
