Replacing fuel lines ?

I am going to be replacing the fuel lines this weekend on my truck I already have the hose needed going with rubber line from the tank forward. My question is how did you adapt to the rubber line? Are there any fittings I should pick up to get in and out of the lift pump or tank (threaded end with a barb??) I also plan on doing the 1/2 line between the lift pump and injector pump. I want to have all the parts together before I start so advice would be great.

All you need is hose clamps. The quicklok/push-on snouts at the tank have a ridge to catch the plastic clip that you can run the hose over and then clamp it down. On the block the hose fittings have a ridge that you put the clamp behind. Hardest part is dealing with getting to the tank fittings. Just did mine. I left the return line on top of the trans to use as a support for both lines, just tie-wrapped them to it.

Yup Redram speaks the truth.Just did mine as well hard part was up under the hood for the return line if you pull the starter it gives you lots more room to maneuver.
