Make up the lines yourself. It is not a complicated job. You can buy lengths of line from NAPA or wherever and cut to length and re flare. I am sure flaring tools are cheap at Harbour Freight. If they are too costly in the US I will lend you one. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that " I did it myself".

If you want you can phone me and I will help you over the phone.
Cheers,
Barry

But if I could get a complete set for a good price that saves me the time of having to do it myself.

Right now I have more $ than time.

You are right of course and I know just what you mean. In this busy world we live in time quite often has a greater value than money. Just the way it works now.

I enjoy doing those types of jobs myself. I know that every drop of blood and sweat on that old truck is mine ,in it's restoration. I also used a little larger line ID on my fuel lines as that insures adequate fuel flow under load. I also used copper instead of the steel used in WWII. No corrosion problems there.
Just a personal choice as my truck is my whole hobby and I enjoy working on her.
