Yes, my plan is to use the donor truck lines. But, they still need a lot of work. Have to re-shape to clear the front crossmember. Then, my assumption is that I will need to cut off some portion of the front of the line and either flare to match my aluminum radiator, or make a section of new line and join to donor lines with compression fittings (don't need flare union as pressure is not that high). Time will tell.
