The fittings have a piece of flex line attached to them and then connect to the hardline. I'm pretty shure you would have to buy these as an assembly and will not come cheap. Your best bet for replacements is to contact Ed the FTE parts guy for pricing. Since you said you mangled them up good while removing the filter it sounds like replacing them would be a good idea. I would hate for one of those fittings to spring and leak and cause a fire and destroy your truck or worse, hurt yourself or your family.
All the fuel line removal tool does is spreads the little prongs apart in the fittings allowing the filter to slide out. If you look at the filter you will notice a raised flange on each end, thats what the prongs go against to keep the filter put.

Braided Stainless Fuel Line Kit by Edelbrock - Part 8123 - Advance Auto Parts
this part is the closest thing to it... the end that is not L shaped is what it looks like, though stainless silver in color, on both sides in and out of the filter... not the tubing itself, but only the fittings are warped and mangled..... can they be repaired without buying line?
