Fuel tank relocation fuel line
 
I’m relocating the fuel tank to the bed and I was wondering where can I get a steel fuel line that’ll run from the tank in the bed to the front to the fuel pump? I do not want to run rubber fuel line all the way to the back to front.

I used the stock fuel line in the frame rail. Just ran a piece of rubber on each end. Not ideal but it’s all I had. Will probably redo it. You can get fittings and some braided line from summit. What type of tank are you using? If you used a Blazer tank then you could get a factory Blazer line that would make up most of the run from front to back.

Might look at a blazer fuel line, seems the tank was in the rear. Hopefully someone knows for sure

Buy 3/8s SS tubing and compression fittings.
Bend to suit.

Except that the K/5 is 104'' [wheel-to-wheel centers], a shortbed is 115'' and a longbed is 125''.

Which is why I said it would cover most of the length and said to get braided line and fittings😃

Or you could get lines for a Suburban, and cut off what you don't need.
