need fuel fill hose for both tanks on a 78c10 stepside, old one rotted. tried all the after market guys. seems they handle fleetside hoses but not foe the stepsides. anyone have any ideas? thought about having them bent out of exhaust tubing and making connections at tank and fill w/straight hose, but thought if i could locate them it'd be easier. thanks for any help

Exhaust tubing can't be bent tight enough to clear the bed directly from the tank. I had to do a hybrid hose using 2 preformed 90 degree bend fuel fill hoses from O'reillys and some exhaust tubing . Use a small chunk of exhaust and some clamps as a coupler and trim down the 90's for a tight turn.

thanks 81 stepside, may do it that way too, if its easiest, can't believe no one has seen the need to repop these hoses.
