mechanical fuel pressure guage???
all i need to know, when putting a mechanical fp guage in the truck without an isolator, does the fuel line just hose clamp on the back of the guage, or is there something else recommended?

Do it right the first time, and you won't have to do it twice.
Mechanical fittings only , IE: Compression fitting or -AN fitting.
No Mickey Mouse connections on a fuel line, especially inside the cab.

I used the 1/8", I had to soap it up a little to get it to slide though, but this way you don't have a big clunky hose behind your gauge.
DON'T over tighten!

Fuel can travel through the fitting feeder line to the fitting cavity, enter the banjo bolt through the side hole then out through the center hole into the device receiving the fuel. It can flow in reverse to the description too.
Clear as mud huh?
