Default Fuel Lines on a 69

Is it possible to replace the metal fuel lines without lifting the body? Thanks for the help

Doubtful. Some of the lines run on top of the rail with little if any room between the frame and body to get your tools in there to remove the clips/ bolts.

Most people say no. I have seen a few posts where the people said they did it - took a lot of patience, but they did it. I need to replace my fuel line this spring, and I am going to try to do it without lifting the body. My son and I did all the brake lines in stainless without kinks or splices and we didn't liift the body.

If your not worried about correctness I think the best way to approch this with the body on is to run steel braded line for the fuel and rubber for the vent (if you have it). I think the cost would be about the same.
