Custom brake lines...are you talking regular hard lines or stainless steel braided ones?? 
If you are talking regular hard lines, just buy the tubing precut and flared w/ fittings to your specs. Nothing to it. I did that for my 85 when I redid the brakes and put discs on the rear. But I ordered my ss brake lines from All Pro to go from the hard lines on the frame to the hub for flexibility.

I am doing cruiser coils in the rear and I need longer brakelines. I am talking about the stainless steel ones. Is there lines from some other vehicle that may work?

You can usually buy lengths of straight steel line at good auto parts stores and gently bend it to hug the rear axle or frame rail. They come in a number of lengths. If you're going to buy a long one and cut it to length, you'll need a double flare tool to reshape the end so it screws into the wheel cylinder or caliper or whatever you're threading it into.

The easiest thing to do is goto the junkyard find another toyota pickup truck or 4 runner take the flexible rear rubber brake line off and double up your exisiting brakeline. As far as I know all the toyota TRUCK/4RUNNER rubber brake line fittings all have the same thread pitch so any toyota 2wd or 4wd truck should work.
BAM done for less than $5-10 including the brake fluid.
That's all I did to my rear brakes on my 93 4 runner with cruiser coils.
Or buy the nice $85 stainless steel brakeline kit from ALLPRO or Marlincrawler.

They were $33 each, but that was back in 1997. Here is a link: http://www.superlift.com/
