1999 GM Safari brake work ... parts source?

So today I went to move my dad's 1999 GM Safari van so I could get my 240D out ... started the van and the brake pedal caved to the floor. Turned it off, got out, and sure enough there was a huge puddle of brake fluid under the driver's side wheel. The hard lines look really corroded and I think that's where the fluid is pouring out from, so I figured I'm looking at replacing at least those. I'll look at rotors, pads, rubber lines, etc., while I'm at it and see if anything else needs replacement. Where's the best place to go for GM parts? I was going to go to NAPA. Thoughts? I bought the Haynes manual today, figured it wouldn't be a bad thing to have as this van could use some other work.

For online try ********.com or ***********************

But I think the local NAPA or AutoZoo will have the parts you need. Just stay 10000 miles away from the dealer
