Like @Fless has said, there are different types of flares and you need the correct bits for them.

I haven’t. Not sure if I should try yet.
Have any idea where I could find what specific flare I'd need--or what style it is? Might try to go to HF for the correct tool. The one i have only makes 1 style of flare.
As far as what your truck needs, I am unsure. Have you tried Inline Tube for info and availability? Your old original line should match up to one of these pics.

Unfortunately I don't have the old line to compare. I had someone else do it. Thanks for the pics. I'm gonna save those.
I've never heard of Inline Tube. They sell hard line already flared? I still have a roll of brake line i can use, also some compression fittings. I found out the hard way that threads on the fittings aren't all the same.

I believe, yes, they pre make them and flare them. Look it all up at their site or call them.
When I did the stainless steel transmission cooling lines on my girl's 1990 GMT400, they were pre bent and flared. They also advertise brake lines/hoses.
Hang in there brother.

Good source for the braided brake hoses, too.
