Replacing fuel filler pipe

Holy crap I went to get 2 1/4 inlet hose and they said it was 34$ a foot. Ok I said no thanks! Is this correct? I am working on an old 77 F250 camper special. Any help would be great!

That stuff is exspensive. NAPA lists it for $25 a foot. Try Dennis Carpenter they list the complete kit for about $50. It's not cheap to fix up these old trucks.

I got the truck for free and I am trying to put as little money into it as possible. At first napa said 3FT for 33$ they got the stuff in and changed thier mind. I am probably going to order it through Macs as it will be a direct fit.

The fuel rated stuff isn't cheap. I got the same sticker shock when I sold some to a customer at the NAPA I work at, and I wasn't even buying it

If you're looking for a quick fix, your NAPA should have some water rated rubber hose in the size you need. Just be aware that the gas will eat through it after a while.
