Should I be able to use my old brake lines. I would be changing the whole rear axle at the same time.
If you use your old brakes, you can use your old brake-lines for sure and still likely if you don't. You could actually remove the backing plates and all and never break open a brake line or not remove a brake spring just transfer them over to the new rear-end just hang them with coat-hangers.

I expect the lines would fit if it's a 71-72 5 lug rear end.
