I did all my own, and it was really my first real attempt. It turned out great, except for the bruises on my hips from bending stainless, which is tough.

If I were doing copper brass or mild steel I would DEFINITELY do it myself, though stainless is a tougher call.

I had the Mastercool hydraulic flaring tool, and recommend it. I don't think I'd want to do a whole truck with a manual flaring tools, but maybe softer metal would be OK...

So if you can buy/rent a decent flaring tool and you're using a softer tube, go for it! If in doubt, look up Right Stuff detailing, they had the best stuff when I looked. The pre-bent stuff is only going to fit C10 regular bed, though... 3/4T, anything like that and you're on your own like I was.
