Anyone use brake lines from GMC Paul's?

I bought a new complete set of stainless brake lines from GMC Paul's and I am so confused! A box came to my house, I opened it and it had my brake lines in it. Very nice brake lines too, however, there are no lables identifying which brake line is which. Most are fairly easy to figure out, the 3/16 lines are for the front brakes and the 1/4 lines are for the back brakes. This works fine until you get to the lines that cross the rearend, there is not enough 1/4 line to plumb the rearend and too much 3/16. Do the lines change size at the rearend from 1/4 running from the master cylinder back to the rearend and change to 3/16 as they cross the rearend from left to right. That said, I think there more brake lines supplied then are required, just not the correct sizes and lenght. HELP!

I would send Paul an email asking for help and he would likely send a diagram. Be patient and I am sure you'll get some help from here also.

They do switch sizes at the rear end. The switch occurs at the junction box on the rear flex hose.
