Since you live in the north country where road salt is often used I would suggest you get stainless steel replacements. As mentioned there are suppliers that do have OEM lines available. Keep in mind they were installed on a bare chassis with access from the top, bottom, and all sides. An exact replacement might be difficult at best to install.
Over the years I've installed a number of brake lines on all kinds of vehicles. In most cases it's easiest to get straight lengths slightly longer than those currently in place. Then bend them with a tubing bender to duplicate the originals as close as possible. It's a time consuming job, but if you're careful it will look and operate as good as the originals.
In cases where the current lines are longer than sizes available you'll need to get couplings to hook multiples together.
On a coach of that vintage all lines are in all probability fractional sizes with double flare fittings. When you disassemble the system be sure to check the fitting style. Some years later Ford went to metric lines.
On our 2013 Adventurer we have hybrid metric lines with double flare fittings rather than the standard ball end fittings found on most metric lines. When I installed our RoadMaster BrakeMaster braking system for our toad I had to find an SAE to Metric adaptor. If this does happen they are available at online racing parts suppliers. Apparently it's popular to adapt metric brake systems to cars originally equipped with SAE fittings.
