Question on power brake conversion

Hey guys, I hit the search but couldn't find what I was looking for. Is there any need to change the brake lines when converting to power brakes from manual? I noticed two full brake line kits online, but my manual lines are in good condition. Thanks in advance.

No. The brake lines on the truck itself from after the combo valve will work. If its a disc drum already, then you should be able to just bolt the lines before the combo valve to the master and go (with proper bleeding of course).

Thanks, it is disc/drum.
