busted brake line

I have a 98 F150 4.2L 2 wheel drive, 155000 miles. the brake line to the rear driver side rusted out and was leaking. i tried cutting it apart and putting in a new small piece but it was so rusted when i filled it up and stepped on the brake it just busted out new holes. i was wondering where i can get a whole new line because everywhere i looked i can only find pieces not the whole thing. thanks

You can find kits like this one (not saying its the best) http://www.jcwhitney.com/make-your-o.../p2008425.jcwx, but its a start. I would redo ALL the lines as I suspect the others are probably in the same condition - obviously not safe. Also you will need a bending tool, cutting tool and maybe something to flare the ends depending on the hardware.
