On the 1960 there are two clamps, one on either end of the connector hose between the fill pipe and tank. Just loosen both clamps and you can pull the filler pipe out of the body grommet, allowing replacement of the hose. I don't think there were ever any changes in this assembly so your 66 should be the same.

The body grommet may have turned to wood so it may help to soak it in Armoral or the like before getting started to make it easier to pull the pipe out. If it's the original grommet you should also replace it at the same time.
