ordering rear axle brake lines

so, my lines are rusted to pieces. I usually bend my own, but in this case, I plan to order some for a change, eventually going to resto this truck, but just getting it going safely for now - so only want to do/buy lines once.

The problem I've run into is that for my truck (71 C20 with Dana and leaf springs) - the listings are confusing. In most places, they simply list them by bed length (short vs. long) and suspension type (leaf vs. coil). But, classic parts no longer carries em, LMC's are a little vague, inline tube didn't have it listed in a clear way either - and truck shop lists a "Dana" one but only for coil springs, oddly enough, and then a separate listing for 71-72 long bed with leaf spring (but doesn't call out a Dana at all for leafs). I've yet to find ANY place that lists them specifically for: leaf springs WITH a Dana.....

Based on the way I've read the listings, it seems that all that matters is bed length and suspension type - i.e. NOT rear end mfgr. So, thinking that long bed + leaf spring will get me the correct rear axle brake line.

Anyone had any experience with this specific case?
Classic Parts lists them in their catalog and I was going to order from them, but when you try to order online, those parts won't come up, nor can they be found by searching all their brake parts. Weird.
