Default Brake line size?

Does anyone know what the size of the brake line is that runs to the back of the truck? I'm ordering a brake line roll online. Also, what is a good source for brake line fittings? The chinesium fittings from autozone are worthless. They strip easily and don't seal well. Thanks!

1/4 inch. All the rest are 3/16

my recommendation: get nickel copper alloy brake line. More expensive but you will thank me later lol.

as far as fittings I normally just get mine from napa, never had a problem as long as I use the right size wrench!

The right size of wrench AND the right kind of wrench... the only ones I’ve stripped are the ones I’ve been too lazy to grab a fitting wrench for!
