Where was that thread about which tool was the best for making the flares?
Do not buy the autozone kit. It is awful. I have one and if it makes a decent flare it is purely on accident.
Check NAPA, they may have the lines. I found these: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/UBK9190134 but you'd need to check your truck length.
I love my matercool.
But for $300 i better.

I didn't see them on the website when I checked, but your post gave me hope so I called! Not available for my truck :(
Gearheadmd - Yeah, I've used crappy kits before and it was a PITA, if I do it this time, I'll invest in the Eastwood flaring tool...
But I'm kind of leaning towards just dropping the three bills and getting it done with Inline Tube. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Alright, F it, I'm $300 poorer, but I have lines being shipped to me.
Thanks everyone on this thread, and especially Curtis for pointing me towards Inline!
Inline really helped me when I converted to power brakes on the 67 LeMans. I bent coat hangers into the shapes I needed, taped the old threaded fittings on the ends for reference of what I needed. I moved the prop valve from the frame to right under the master, so I had them make the main rear line longer.
I basically made a diagram of everything I needed. Two weeks later I called them to make sure they understood everything I did and the lady told me they were already shipping them back. They were perfect. Tape and coat hangers and a scribbled drawing. Nailed it.
