Today I discovered a very rusty brake line on the '73 K20 Longbed I've been working on getting back to good driving condition. I'd like to go through the entire brake system and replace everything from the booster/master cylinder down to the shoes/pads and complete lines.

How involved/difficult is replacing the lines in your own driveway (no shop). Body is on frame, I don't have a lift, etc. I am leaning towards a complete set from inline or Right Stuff for the sake of simplicity and would rather do the install myself. Everything else I've done before but haven't tackled the lines yet. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
