Original Fuel Line routing (1972 gmc jimmy)

Hey guys, can any of you snap some pics of how the original fuel lines were routed from the gas tank to the carb on a 1972 k5 or gmc jimmy? Looking to try and put a mechanical pump back in my truck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They run inside the passenger frame. I can get pictures of a 1971 in an hour if no one else has by then.

Re: Original Fuel Line routing (1972 gmc jimmy)

the are a couple fasteners that hold them to the rails , can you snap a pic of them? right now with my electric setup i only have one. but there is also a line that is just in front og the gas tank cross-member that isn't hooked up to anything. Is there only supposed to be one, that runs up to the front of the truck?

The front lines show the curve to the pump. Rubber from there to pump. The other line is going to the charcoal canister.
One back pictures shows them going to tank. Other one shows the feed line from the tank to the front. I can get more pictures. I had my tank out last week, too bad you didn't ask then. I have a blazer with a body lift too, but it's at my work shop. But if needed I might be able to get some better pictures on that one. That might be a 72, I can't remember. Either a 71 or 72.

I am heading to the shop shortly to grab some tools. Do you want other photos? I will see what I can do.
