fuel lines going to and from tank?
Are the fuel lines (both going and return) that hook up to the gas tank supposed to be rubber hose with just hose clamps holding them on the metal fuel line? I have a leak right where the hose is clamped on the fuel line that goes to the fuel filter and was wondering where to get them or what the best fix for itwould be?

If it were me, I would probably just use rubber fuel line and hose clamps.
The fancy factory connectors allowed for increased speed of assembly in the factory (just snap into place) and nothing more. You are not going to get any worse (or better) fuel flow using standard fuel line.
Just ensure a proper job is done (no jury-rigging) and there are no leaks.

Finally I have a day off so I could look at the truck closer. The main feed line still has the large connector at the sending unit, but then someone used just normal fuel line. Upon further investigation all the hoses have been changed to normal fuel line so here is the plan. I am going to remove the bed since I have a rust free bed to put on it, then I will make sure of the size of all the fuel hose ( looks like all is 3/8 right now). I will order me a flaring set and either get the fuel injection hose and clamps or I may go ahead and get the flare style fittings and hard line it back to the sending unit just to make it look good. To do this I will have to see if the fuel repair lines with the proper connectors will work to hook up to the sending unit and hopfully not have to buy a new sending unit to boot. I also was wondering about the AN style fittings, are these just for hoses and if so I might try that route. It will be a decent little project to put together and I have never flared any line so I will have to practice a bit. Let me know you thoughts cause I want it to be right.
