hi,i thought about this today,i would expect that because of the different rear end housings between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton and the size of the housings,and then coil or leaf springs,i'd be very surprised if the hard lines would swap around.i did just look up the flex hose and the coil spring hose on a 3/4 ton truck is 13.25 inches long and the leaf spring like mine needed,was 18 inches or so.that hose changes between 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks so that's different as well.if you need the hard lines,can you make them or buy a length of flared brake hose as long as you need, at your local autoparts store and form it to fit?
