67 Front Disc Brakes

I'm getting ready to place an order for a bunch of parts for my 67 C10. One of the parts is a complete pre bent stainless steel brake line kit. My problem is someone in the trucks past converted the front brakes to discs. It appears to be the kit that LMC truck sells which uses the 71-72 spindle, rotor, caliper and flex line. The problem is whoever installed the kit didn't bother to re-bend the factory steel lines and relocate them to the rear of the control arms. The flex line that is on my truck now looks to be stretched about as far as it can be. This to me is unsafe. I know that the 71-72 pickups came with disc brakes from the factory. My question is do I order the kit for a 71 or a 72 because in the LMC catalog there are different part numbers for 67, 68-69, 70, 71, 72. What do I order? I called LMC, but there is no one there who has any idea about what they sell or what it will fit, so this is where this forum will hopefully come in. Anyone have any suggestions or anyone run into the same problem? I'm hoping that one of these kits will place the steel line behind the control arms so that the flex lines will reach safely. I can make an angle bracket to hold the steel line and anchor the flex line to the frame behind the control arms where they should be.
Any help would be much appreciated.
