Re: 72 in cab fuel lines
Does your fuel pump have a return line on it going back to the tank?

Re: 72 in cab fuel lines
Hey chip I have a 72 step side 4x4 that I'm currently looking at the same issue looks like the fuel pump I have has three places for lines to connect one from the carb, one is feed from tank and one is return to gas tank. There is another line that is a vent that runs from tank along frame. I'm looking on lmc to buying all the lines. If you have a fuel pump that set up for only a feed from tank to pump to carb it would work.
