The fuel filter is still available from Mr T for like 10 bucks but it has a metal bowl. That clear fuel line can be replaced. I just did it on my build. I'll find the link.

My hose was pretty shot so when I replaced my fuel pump with a new one from City Racer I used the barbed input it came with rather than threading the hose into it. Simple filter off AmazonView attachment 3242432
This line came off the supply side of the fuel pump. Glass filter assembly is missing. The other pieces were plumbed in with leaking runber or plastic lines (the plastic looked perhaps factory but it was yellowed and old).
I want to use rubber hose and a cheap later model filter. It appears that the larger threads on these fittings (see solo fitting in photo) match the carb fuel inlet so could be used with the Toyota collar and a ferrule and some 5/16 hardline.
How have others bypassed the glass bowl fuel filters on these old trucks?

Any idea where I can find that barbed fitting? That is what I am missing to copy your setup. I do have a plan if I can't find one but it would be good for future reference.My hose was pretty shot so when I replaced my fuel pump with a new one from City Racer I used the barbed input it came with rather than threading the hose into it.

Fantastic, thanks for this.PNW 67 Patina Blue
Here are the hold down clamps I picked up. The third one on the right is obviously not correct but that's ok, I only need 2. Anyone recognize this? Could this be a hold down clamp for the later hard lines?forum.ih8mud.com
Mine came with the fuel pump. I dont know the part number (maybe Toyota 90404-51244 or 90404-51266) but Im sure a lot of the good part vendors could get it for you new or used.Any idea where I can find that barbed fitting?

How did you get that clear line fitting apart? I beat it up last night a bit but no luck.
Makes sense. I couldn't tell if that sleeve was just a snap ring or what, I could only faintly make out the split from the end-on angle of view in my vise. I will try and dig it out of there with some tiny drill bits or something.Some pics here: PNW 67 Patina Blue - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/pnw-67-patina-blue.1289865/page-4#post-14699232
I just got a new fuel tank and will be pulling apart the other end of the fitting. I'll take some better pics this time.
Thanks. Yeah, that is how I found the suspicious washer.I wish I could help but I haven't rebuilt one of these yet. I have rebuilt my fair share of various 2 and 4 barrels though and I can say that when I get stuck like this, I pull it all apart again and follow the instructions step by freaking step and I compare the new to old as I go. Usually I find something in backwards.
