Need brakes lines What size are they

Hey guys,

In the process of replacing my sending unit and steel fuel lines with rubber I found a bad brake line too. It's the line running right from the front of the truck along the driver side frame rail to a flex line over drivers side of rear axel.

Easy question. What size is this line?

Is there any other pointers I should know before I start replacing?

Thanks for everything

They look a little smaller.
