Right above -- very common in GM trucks around that time frame -- me too.
W were in the middle of a camping trip in Eastern Mass, cruising down I-95 back from New Hampshire at 65 mph, got off the highway, into the campsite, and the brakes blew out right at that moment as we were backing in ... luck it didn't happen ten minutes before on the interstate.
We had new brake pads and rotors turned just before we left - had about 1500 miles on them. And the lines just blew... brake guys never said a word (a dealership too) and we then replaces all line with new.
A 2003 GMC 2500 4x4... I'd recommend NO patching, go with new lines everywhere - that's you and your family, not a minor issue you're protecting.
