Brake lines severely rusted. They all connect at abs controle module? Can't determine which line goes where, these will have to be cut I think. Am I picking the hard road here, perhaps there is an easier way?
Best way is to replace one at a time . replace the line from one end to the other dont use short lines with splices get a roll of 1/4 inch and 3/16 brake line the fittings you can get this at autozone and they have the flare and cutting tool
Something else to think about before taking this job on yourself....is that all the brake lines need to be the same length after installation. If you have one line substantially shorter(ie: Front Driver Side) your hydraulic pressure will reach that one corner of the vehicle before the rest causing a pull when the brakes are applied.

If the lines are that bad, there is no simple cure but to replace them!
Check with a dealer (I know, I cringe at this thought,too! LOL) if a kit of preformed lines is available for a reasonable price; otherwise, you or somebody else, will have to remove each line separately to replace it. You would need a bender and the proper flaring tool and wrenches to do the job right... some of the fitting nuts may be unique to those connections so far as size goes. If you have the time and patience and a helper, you can save the labor costs. You will also need to find out the proper way to bleed the whole system once you have finished!

THis is for a Chevy Silverado truck, since I could not find a diagram from GM. Here is a picture showing which line is which...
Looking from vehicle front to rear, there must be the layout, there are three connections along the top. From left to right, the
connections are Front Left Wheel, Front Right Wheel, and the Connector
near Left Rear Wheel that serves both rear wheels. The bottom two
connections go to the Master Cylinder. The Left Connection goes to the
rear Master Cylinder Connection and the Right Connection goes to the
front Master Cylinder Connection.
Good Luck.

you have to get a scanner and perform a function bleed test on abs valve to work air out of valves, some also have push pins under rubber buttons on side that you can manually push to remove air
