Brake Line Questions

[HDGMC]

I have a 2005 Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab short bed 4x4. I am wondering about the solid steel brake line that goes along the frame to the rear diff, and the two that go to each side of the axle. They are pretty rusty and the dealer says I cant get them...meaning I will have to bend my own. I dont want to do that and am wondering if the lines are the same as a newer year. I think they might have them for a 2007

NBS lets say, problem is I dont know if they will fit my truck. Any info would be greatly appreciated. GM Techs feel free to chime in. Thanks.

if you have to bend your own i would go with the stuff i see in the engine compartment of the new 2500hds, all the lines have a black coating over them idk what they are called but they seem to resist corrosion better and look cleaner, some1 told me they were carbon steel i dont know if thats right though, maybe somebody on here can clarify it for you.

I would go with stainless steel lines and never have to worry about them rusting again! I don't know much about GM's newer black lines, the new Camaro SS and the Traverse also had them (mounted on the bottom of the frame) which I thought wasn't a good idea at all.
