Section on the frame rail should be steel.

Factory repair procedure says to cut out any damaged section of fuel line, then cut a rubber hose 4" longer than the section removed and clamp it in place. Hard to believe anyone would have taken it that far, but if it rotted out they probably did and just put it back in the clamps.

You oughta have to fix it on a 64 or a Toronado. 64 runs rubber line from tank sender THRU THE FRAME RAIL KICKUP to a steel line in front of RR wheel. Steel from there to just behind RF wheel, then it goes back to rubber and runs thru the frame rail again to the pump suction.

I need to replace the Toronado's fuel lines right now because the return line is dryrotted and leaking, and you guessed it- it's rubber from the pump back thru the frame rail and connects to steel just aft of the RF wheel.

First time I encountered this, said this can't be right- till I saw the swages on the metal lines to hold the rubber hose on them.

Some years HydraMatic cooler lines are the same way.
