I have a '72 with disc in front and drum in rear. If I convert to power brakes, am I gonna need new brakes lines too?

Re: am I gonna need new brake lines?

possible all setups are a little different might be a lighter farther forward or back should be close though, when were they last done/replaced? might be good idea to be on the safe side. hate to see you sctrach the truck because your power brakes didn't have good lines!!
