Where's Best place for brake lines?

I'm rebuilding my rig and was wondering where's the best place to get replacement brake lines?

Mine rotted out real bad in the back and have to go. When I get the new ones I'm going to prime and paint them before they go in. Hopefully that'll keep them from rotting out again!

junkyard? or you will bend and fabricate your own which is something the average person is not capable of doing.

post up what your rig is and where you are at and that helps all of us people help you. see my signature and so on for an example.

Could be one of us is right down the road and knows all about this.

New ones form the dealer aren't very expensive, and they come already bent and flared. You can try a wreckers but chances are if yours are rusted any used ones of the same vintage and from the same area will be rusty too.

just replaced my rear ones with ones from autozone. already had connections on them, I just had to bend them up to match the factory ones. They were cheap too. all You have to do is measure the old ones to get the right lengths. take them into autozone so they can match up the ends. Mine were M10's. Assuming you got the same year as mine, the one from the tee to the drivers side wheel cyl was a 40" and the one on the passenger side from the tee to the cyl was 14" but I had to go with a 20" and make two extra bends.
