What?
Short list, 76ish-79 F150(78-79 bronco). Front axle, raduis arms, trac bar and tie tie rod.
Desired lift springs for the from of same rig the axle came from.
A drag link off a F350 of the same year as ur ttb.
I personly use the ttb radius arm brackets, move them back on the frame, jam the axle under there, install the springs, make a trac bar bracket, hook it all up, and its really a only a day job even if you take your time.

So I know this thread is days old, and on topic has gone out the window, but could you tell me what fittings you used to connect to the stock fuel lines? I cant seem to find anything that will work.

to go from efi to carb? just a shot in the dark but i bet money that dave just cut and flared the lines and hooked up with rubber line. just a guess but that's how i'd go about it. carbs are only 6-8ish psi, so it's not like you need fancy fittings for it to work and last a long time.

Well ur half right dan. I cut the stock fuel rail and used compression fittings to get the stock lines to the regulator, than steel from that to the carb. If u want I'll snap a picture afrer work.

that's what i figured. i always called brakeline fittings "compression fittings" and then a while back ordering stuff for the car a newb at the parts store gave me a couple of those ones you posted and ruined my weekend. i think my dad called them compression fittings once when we were working on my old van and it stuck with me whether it was right or not.

Yeah if you could snap some pics that would be great. I know they make the "correct" fittings to adapt from one to the other, but they are probably expensive as hell. Im all for making it work on the cheap

Actually all the fittings I found where to adapt the stock fuel rail to AN fittings, not the. other way around. But I'll get a pic after I get home. Its been working great. I've burned 6 tanks of gas already n no leaks.

Yeah, no reason a 3/8 compression x 3/8 hose barb brass fitting wouldnt work if you were simply connecting 3/8 rubber fuel line from near where the fuel rail inlet would be up to the carb.
Should be a couple bucks at any hardware store.
A similar aluminum AN style fitting would be $10-15 at least and would really have no benefit over brass in this application.
If your rubber hose would be more than 12" long Id highly suggest a 3/8 compression union and a piece of 3/8 brake line to get close - slide the hose over the flared end and hose clamp it on.
