Fuel line redo

Curious if anyone has pictures of the proper path to instal gas line from tank to fuel pump. The truck I bought (49 F1) had a make shift install of parts. I bought fuel lines from LMC, but its unclear to me whats the right path for the lines to run and looking for a little help doing it right.

From the tank, the line runs to, and along, the DS frame rail to the front cross member beneath the radiator. The line continues to the PS and terminates with a soft line connection to the fuel pump.

thanks for this, one question, the frame has a cross member where the transmission ends and the drive axel starts, it seems I would need to go under that member but it seems funny to be beneath frame, is that correct?

thanks

I just ran new brake and fuel lines on my F2 with a 6 cyl.
Here's how I did it, but I just copied the old lines that I pulled out.
