1970 Disc Brake Line Routing

I have a '70 Chevy 1/2 Ton and I am planning the installation of one of the disc brake conversion kits (6-lug rotors).

My brake lines run behind the crossmember and from what I have gathered the front lines have to be re-routed to the front of the crossmember. Also it appears that the bracket that attaches the brake hose to the chassis needs to be welded to the front of the crossmember as well.

There are a lot of options here, and it would almost take longer to describe how to route the new lines than to actually do it. I have a double-flare tool and some tubing benders, so that's not an issue. Can anyone that has performed such a swap post some pics of how they routed their lines?

Also, does anyone have a source for bulk steel brake line?

Thanks!
