1976 F250 2WD LB fuel line replacement

Does anyone know if the 1976 F150 and F250 fuel lines are the same? I need to replace my fuel lines and I can't find a pre-bent line. LMC truck only has the dual tank option and my truck only has the aft tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I personally don't have a problem with flexible hose from the tank to the fuel pump. Earl's vapor guard or AC Delco green hold up well. But I've also made hard lines. It's not difficult. It's fun actually. You can get a cheap kit on Amazon that has a bender, cutter, and flaring tool. Get hard lines and fittings at parts stores. You may even be able to do it without cutting and flaring. My friend and I did one on his Scout by mocking it up with the solid ground wire from a length of Romex. Once done, we measured it with a tailors tape measure, and then found a premade straight line of that length at the parts store. Then we used the mock piece as a template and made corresponding bends in the hard line. It was pretty easy. I remember saying, "Man, that ain't gonna work."

I searched on inlinetube for your need and could not find one for a single rear tank. All of the pre-bent lines for f100's and f150's are listed together but the f250's are listed separately leading me to think they are different but I cannot answer your specific question. Sorry.

If you can use the line for the dual-tank vehicle here's the link to the inline tube offering: https://www.inlinetube.com/products/FRF7605

Note that the frontmost fuel line snakes behind the steering box. Mine was squashed at that location - probably due to a PO working on the steering box. On my '76 F-150, I replaced the entire line from fuel pump to aft tank with AN-8 braided SS hose. The midships tank on this LWB truck was deleted to accommodate long tube headers. As I recall, it took about twenty feet.
