TX WTB 3/8 tank to frame fuel line and in cab fuel tank vent loop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**WIDESIDE72** · 04-30-2017, 10:18 PM

A few years back I bought a 70 Longhorn with no fuel tank. I finally got around to swapping in a tank I had out of a 71. I am looking for the steel line that goes from the sending unit through the floor to the fuel line on the frame under the cab (3/8, its a big block truck)Also, if I remember correctly, there is a vent loop that goes up in between the two layers of the cab corner by the rear window. I thought I had the one from the truck I parted out that the fuel tank came out of, but I can't find either one anywhere. Does anyone have either one or can they give me a photo of the vent line (I can bend up my own)?

Steve, I have the vent loop. I also have the line through the floor, but it's 5/16. I replaced my 250 with a 402 a while back. I replaced the tank with one that was in a cab that I bought and it has a 5/16 line from the sender also. The line that runs along the frame rail up to the fuel pump is also 5/16 and I have not had any fuel starvation issues, but my 402 is mostly stock. I can get pics of the vent loop for you but the other line is still in my old tank in storage.

Here are pics of the vent line and the line from the sender through the floor.

**WIDESIDE72** · 10-22-2017, 10:21 PM

I think he needs the one with the loop in it that goes up inside the cab corner.... If you have that one too let him know.

If you don't have one I think I do. I will go out and check in a bit.

This is the loop I need. I dont think the 70 originally had this. I put a tank out of a 72 I parted out in it since it was good. Not sure what happened to the loop. I remember pulling it, but couldnt find it in my junk! How much shipped to Leander Tx 78641?

I would ship it to you for the same total as the other piece you bought, $19.75. PM sent.

I don't see any reference to that in the thread. If he shipped it for $15, by the time he packaged it up and took it to the P.O. he lost money on it. This thing is long. I boxed it up and took it to the P.O. to get actual shipping cost and the cheapest was by USPS ground @ $9.32. I would do $19.00 shipped if that would work....

Shipping cost is getting really bad. They just raised the cheapest First Class package to 3 bucks.

I understand tour position. I am sure he didnt make any money on the fuel line. It was done through PM. I will do $19.
