i know its the f150 forums just thought i could get a hand here.

 

I don’t know what size they are but www.rockauto.com has several different brands and they have all the part numbers. It might be easier to find at a local store with a part number.

 

G.B, usually the steel lines are 3/16", maybe for GM crap only, Ford might be as well. I'd go to a parts place, Walker Road auto or probably safest bet Rose City on Monday now. Otherwise, you have to bend and flare the ends etc. Alot of work for brakes that never actually get used, maybe 30% of the braking when fully working. My aunt's 98 was the same, wheel cylinders always go because they see little use. Take care though bud, hope all is well.

 

ive had ford,gm and dodge and the hard lines have all been 3/16

 

thanks guys the lines where 3/16 had to replace all the lines so rotted when i moved one the other broke, but gave me a reason to buy a flaring tool and a tubing bender....lol
