What diameter? RockAuto sells Gates fuel line which seems to last fine. Also filler hose in various sizes.

They are molded with one end larger than the other. Work perfect.

I used fuel transfer hose on my 79 since no one makes a set for that year. Holding up great so far.

Mine are still good. I bought them right after they started selling them, after wasting time and money on universal hoses, and they look good. Maybe 7-8 years.

I got a pair from 4 wheel parts, probably the same / similar to the ones that @RamJetFSJ mentioned. Installation was fairly "easy". Haven't had them long enough to say if they'll dry rot or not.
