Recommend brake lines and shocks for 71 Chevy?

71 Chevy Deluxe, short/fleet, 1/2 ton, 2WD. Rear drums, front disc. ...Trying to stick to original as much as possible. What/where do you recommend for:

1. Brake lines and junctions. I'll restore what I've got, but a few items need to be replaced.

2. Emergency brake linkage. I'll restore what I've got, but a few items need to be replaced.

3. Shocks (so far no plans to lower).

Thank you for any suggestions.

I would go with Monroe Sensa-Trac Shocks. They are a good quality shock and not that expensive. I put a set on my last truck and was quite satisfied with the ride and handling. Another suggestion is if there isn't one on your truck add a front sway bar.

Thank you. It does have a sway bar. Apparently that's post-production?
