Thank you Joisey for posting this. I had the brake line rust through going to the right front last week. 99 Silverado 2500 (no HD), that I had bought in 2010. While replacing the line I noticed 3 other brake lines had already been replaced, which kind of surprised me a bit, seeing very little other rust under there.
It wasn't a fun job for sure, doing it on a creeper, with no lift. It was equipped with standard 1/4 inch tubing, but of course the flare nuts GM used are different from the flare nuts that come on the tubing that you find at the auto parts store. They did have the correct flare nuts in stock, I just had to cut the tubing to install them and re-flare them again. I had a double lip flaring tool. I came straight out of the ABS controller with the new line and ran it along the inside of the frame, ( it came from the factory coming out of the controller and going to the outside of the frame rail) and then pretty much routed it the rest of the way as it was from the factory.
I tried gravity bleeding the system first. When that didn't work, my wife helped me bleed them and now all is well.
I know I might have found the lines at the dealer with the correct flare nuts but I've found your usually better off in the long run not going there until your forced to.
