77 Rear Brake Line Question

Hello all, I spend my time in the C2 section but am helping a friend with the brakes on his 77 so was hoping some of you in the C3 section would be able to help me out with some information. I need to pick up the hard rear brake lines today for him but am no where near the car. I'm going to have to pick up generic brake lines and bend them, could someone tell me the length, diameter and fitting size I need to pick up? These are the lines from the rubber brake line to the caliper. They are likely 16-18" long when straight?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! 7/16" at both ends? I know the bleeders are 3/8".
