Tank to Pump fuel line replace - 62 C10

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for replacing the 5/16" fuel line between the cab mounted tank and the fuel pump? There are three clips that hold the line to the frame - 2 are easily accessible but the third, front clip is inside the boxed section of frame. There is an opening, but the engine mount is pretty much in the way. I have screw in clips, but I don't see how to get a wrench on the bolt so was hoping to find an original type "push in" fuel line clip. Anyone know a source? I've found a couple of threads asking a similar question, but none that offer suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I use Aluminum fuel line or PTFE fuel line, or a combo of both. I would say that it depends on what you plan to do with the ride, Drag it, show it, run it... Drag racing there are rules for fuel lines and types, show you may want it to look good, and so on....

I have a steel replacement line. I'm trying to figure out how to replace the hard to reach front frame clip. From what I can see, it is a push in type clip, but I'm not sure where to find one or how best to reach it with the engine mount in the way.

I’ve ran into that before.
I just moved the clip location to a better place on the frame ahead of the ugly to reach one.
Here’s a link to some clips. You might find your style and size in here.

I bought one of these - supposed to fit a 56 Corvette so maybe my truck will go faster? It is for a 5/16" line and is a "push in" style. Getting it in will be the trick!! Thanks for the suggestions - I'll let you know how it goes.
