Question Brake lines question?

We put a 76 front end under my 64 stepper.

When we went to hook up the brake lines they are 2 different sizes, the 76 are much larger diameter than the 64 one.

Is there a ready made adapter I can buy someplace to join the lines together or do I need to replace the whole system with new lines or what is the best way to make the old 64 rear drum brakes work with the newer 76 disc brakes?

I had to use two left side lines off of a 72. Just took a grinder to the alignment pin that comes on them.

They are a little shorter than you would expect but mine only pull snug when the truck is layed all the way out.
