Default Trying to find where a brakeline goes.

Hello everyone!
I just picked up a 2001 1500 with the 5.9 magnum and it seems to have an issue with a brakeline being snapped in the front drivers wheel well. I have included a picture and i'm hoping to find where the circled line goes to so I can look at replacing the whole line or just adding a new section of line. As of right now I lose the line under the engine somewhere.

I appreciate any help anyone can offer!

Picture credit to user Dorn4ever as he was the taker of this photo i'm just using it because it illustrates what I need perfectly

Do you by chance know what the line diameter is? I'll pick up everything tomorrow to start working on it. Or if there are preformed lines that you know of that would be awesome too. I appreciate all the help, I spent hours trying to find brake diagrams with no luck until I stumbled upon the picture and the forum haha

Unsure of the diameter. I buy prebent when I can sstubes sells them I get stainless steel so it doesn't rust. They sell them individually or you can get them as a kit. I'm glad to help

I'm back again. I have a friend willing to help me fix this right now before all the purchased lines come in but we can't seem to figure out the threading size for that line. The local part store had 3/16 line fitting but they seems to be a hair bigger than the original and dont thread in. Would you happen to know the size of the fitting or know a spot I could look to find it
