Good call.

there are actually two lines. one from the tank line to the frame and the one from the fram to the fuel pump. few people know of them and fewer still are willing to climb under the truck and replace them. My 72's lines crumbled in my hand when I went to replace them. dripped lots of fuel contributing to my lousy gas milage.

went to inspect the same ones on my 68...not so much just to inspect them but to replace them. they were as bad or worse. plus I got those two saddle tanks. hoses crumbles, leaked and fittings did too.
