No. Have to make it up. could try a pull-a-part yard if handy. Not that hard to make up. Need a double flare crimping tool. I perfer finding a roll of tubing and can reuse the fittings sometimes.

I found it easy to bend the lines to replace the front to rear lines in my 99..much easier to bend then I thought they would be.
just used my hands no tools.
I also didn't need a double flare tool..bought all existing lengths. nothing cut.

I bought two lengths of tubing and a union when I did mine. No need to cut or flare at all, the two combined were the perfect length. I have all the tools to flare it myself but this worked out so perfectly I didn't bother. The length of the tubing will differ depending on your truck.

i just stopped at 3 different parts stores and couldnt find the brakeline fitting which comes out from the master cylinder both the front and the rear brake lines from the mc are the same but i couldnt find the line and fitting the line seems like its 3/16s and the fitting is larger than any fittings i could find might be calling the junkyard.....
