brake line question.

I'm redoing the brake lines (along with 50 other things) and I've noticed that my passenger front and both rear wheels have 3/16 lines and my driver front line is 1/4. Can someone enlighten me on this? The moron that worked on it before me has replaced some of the brake lines so it might just be his hack job. I call it a hack job because the drivers front wheel bearing was missing the castle nut......

Brake lines

From what I remember about hydraulics, being the rear brake are farther away. They need a larger line to be energize at the time and distance as the front. If I am wrong I will be corrected. same principle as the fuel line being larger on a M code 6v versus 4v.

Brake line

Just did brakes on 64 and all brake lines are the same. The front lines are expanded a little about 6" from the end.
