New fuel lines: 2 years in the making!

I have taken me two years to get this done: mainly as I was distracted with work, etc.

Big thanks to everyone that offered advice, especially to Wrecked Chevy and to Tx FireFighter (he really encouraged me to bend my own and I thank him).

My line isn't perfect here as it should be in that groove but I think it will work. The only valve I could find that I liked is right there.







Grommet in rear is from Wes at Classic Heartbeat and it fit perfectly! It's not as thick as the original but I still needed soap to help it get in.
I also couldn't get the vent line to attach there at the left, there is still one bolt attachment that did fit, so I just used some hose to cushion it like I did with the valve.



My in-cab line is 3/8 but my along frame line is 5/16 so I put in a reducer I ordered from Jegs.



The vent line under the cab.



Vent line connection under front of cab.



The in-cab line didn't actually touch the frame but it came so close I added (and later zip-tied) this piece of hose.



Distal end of the fuel line. I may be a little close to the pump here but it fit well-enough.



Next task: put the rebuilt carb back on!
