There where some that did have a canister filter mounted along the frame rail. Most have a filter sock on the inlet inside the tank. and the sintered bronze or paper element inside the carb inlet. Putting rubber hose and a filter between the fuel pump & carb is a fire hazard. The hose becomes old and the plastic and glass see through filters can burst. Ive never seen a GM factory installed filter attached with rubber hose installed between the fuel pump & carb. a solid steel line is what came from the factory on trucks. I cut the rubber line on the inlet side of the fuel pump and install a wix steel cased filter at that location. I also use the factory sintered bronze filter in the carb inlet.
