Stepside fuel filler hose?
 

The PO of this 80 stepside I just picked up has radiator flex hose as a fuel filler, and it's not even close to making the curve it needs from the tank to the fender filler inlet. I can't find a specific stepside hose offered on any site, but I have seen the fleetside hoses.

Are the stepside and fleetside filler hoses the same?

because i was in a bind when i swapped out my gas tanks and a certain vendor sent me improper parts i was able to fabricate the filler lines using the metal in the fleetside gas tube ( of which i had a couple extra) and going to a mom and pop auto parts store and using curved radiator hoses to make the correct hose. Its not the prettiest but it is functional

what about using the spring like material you put over the hose which will allow you to bend the hose w/o kinking it. I pulled my bed off and before I could say anything my dad had a knife and cut the hoses off. Probably would have to anyways. so that is waht I am going to look into

I was at Year One yesterday and I think they have it. The part is described as a 77-80 (or something) stepside filler hose, but the guy seemed a little leery. We'll see when it gets here- I think they order it from GM. It was $40, but worth it if it's correct.
