Try a truck parts store, they should have a big diagram that shows the lines, and where they connect. Where are you, if you're close enough, I could come out and give you some help. I'm a truck mechanic, and the old single line systems are easy. I'm in Va, around Fredericksburg.

By a single line system, I mean since about 1986, all trucks use a two-reserve system. One runs the parking brake system, and one runs the service brake system. Your truck most likely uses a single-reserve system, and probably doesn't have spring parking brakes. Which means, when the air leaks off completely, the parking brakes will release, and it could roll away. You just need a bunch of air fittings and some plastic air brake line. Unfortunately, It's hard for me to describe how everything hooks up. Try going to a truck repair shop, and asking if they have a brake line diagram. It will help.
