chevy pick up fuel lines
« on: June 07, 2013, 12:22:42 am »
hello. i have a long wheelbase chevy half ton 4x4. i'm not exactly sure what year it is. but when i got the truck, it had the fuel lines removed and a electric fuel pump with a rubber hose going to a plastic gas can. i was wondering how was the fuel lines routed from the factory. i would like to recreate how the lines was when the truck was new. thank you for your time

Down the pasenger side frame rail. Then depending on if it was dual tank, or single tank. It could run to the tank selector valve, or up and over the top of the frame behind the rear cab mount to  the sending unit. Or if its drivers side tank across the rear cab mount cross member and over the top of the frame to the tank sending unit.

Just a tip for anyone doing their own custom lines, this stuff is easy to flare and bends by hand makes it very easy in tight spots and comes in bulk rolls..
