On some old winter-beaten cars I've worked on, the brake hose will get restricted from a metal clamp used to keep the hose in proper position. The clamp rusts and swells as rust often does, and squeezes the hose eventually restricting the flow of brake fluid.
Also, some old hoses get soft and swell inside eventually restricting the flow of brake fluid much in the same manner as those clamps.
I don't know of any years of the E-Series chassis uses crimped-on brake line fasteners, but if they do, then watch out for rusted hose clamps. Here is a random example.
