Problem is, back then (and I say back then because I'm not sure about today but, Domestic manufacturers use steel brake lines while European manufacturers and I believe Honda, Toyota and Nissan use Ni-Cop brake lines (nickle copper alloy) that don't ever corrode. Had the same issue with my 1997 Ford diesel and I've been replacing them as they fail.
First one to go was the frame line that runs to the rear differential banjo that splits the right and left brake lines. Stuff (Ni-Cop) is inexpensive, comes in a roll and is easy to work with unlike steel brake lines that are rigid and pre-formed.
Once you change over to Ni-Cop brake lines they will never corrode. I even invested in a Rigid Flaring Tool. Makes making the SAE double flare a piece of cake.
Never could figure out why GM-Ford and Chrysler-Fiat use steel.
