These lines come pre-flared with fittings already on them in any length up to 6' long. The bill was $39, and it took him, and I (to help pump the brakes) a little over an hour to install, and bleed all 4 corners using his auto bleeder.

If you bought the galvanized line get it off your truck. I did the same as you and within 4 years the line rusted through again. Mine was in the most common area on the F350 for rusted out line... behind the fuel tank. I was pulling an 8000 lb skid loader when the lines went.. yeah that didn't end well. I replaced all of my brake lines with nickel copper alloy lines.

To the OP, you might consider the line I mentioned above. My brother bought the line set for his 3500 and it was a PITA but his had the ABS valve. If yours has the ABS valve I'd recommend paying someone to do the job.
