Default Brake line help

On my 98 4x2 4.0 6 cyl one of my brake lines rusted through, it is a line that runs from front to back, parallel of the fuel line and runs behind the fuel tank to the rear of the truck. i cannot identify the name of the line in any diagrams. Can anyone help my find this part?

Thank you in advance.

the brake line in question is the bottom one. looking rear.

I did that line on my 97 and I just bought a 20 foot roll of line and ran it through. Probably way cheaper too.

did you worry about going behind the fuel tank again? or was it not a big deal to get it back there? cut and flare it yourself?

I did cut and flare it. I used one of those little wheels for cutting pipes in plumbing. I also purchased a flare tool but you can rent one at auto zone.

I back fed that part. I started behind the gas tank and just fished the front end out and brought it where it needed to be.
