Had a line blow on me, its right at the junction under the driver side. Do I need just the front left hydraulic hose, and then just some new fittings (mins are rusted to hell) to reattach it all?
I believe there is one line running down from the master, goes to a T junction which is mounted to the frame?

That line is the T for the other front line. If your lines are rusty, I would plan on replacing all of it. I've never had much luck getting them apart. The line that runs between the front wheels is easy to replace with a straight piece just shaped by hand. While you are looking at your brake system, go over the line to rear. They are really prone to rusting and blowing apart about at the front fuel tank. I've had two of those now in the same spot.

Never did a 2wd. Any parts store should have it. On the 4wd trucks the driver side has the hose with the T made right into the end of the hose. I assumed it was the same for 2wd. Maybe it's not.

A quick and very dirty fix would be to pound the line shut and do a quick drip bleed in the back. Iv had lines break on the road and that has gotten me home. It's partially the reason I keep a ball-peen hammer under the seat.
