New electric fuel pump
So my mechanical fuel pump finally craped out and I will be replacing it with an electric one and since I am going to be installing it close to the tank I was just going to replace all the fuel line as well but wanted to go to 3/8”. Is it better to use a hard line or will I be ok using a rubber line?

I would do Hard line with as little in the amount of rubber hose. If not you will need to replace the hose later down the road.. I like to do small hoses myself.. Just my 2 cents

All steel for sure, inexpensive, straight forward and more permanent. Only 4-6" of rubber on either end, stay away from heat when you get into engine compartment.

I would NOT use hose unless it is temporary. Use hard line If you are concerned about doing the bends ? Year One/ many other places sells a fuel line come in a 4' circle you have to carefully un curl it.. OR get some 4-6' lengths/ at a parts store with fittings & a coupler and make your own.

Thanks for the input, I will get some hard line and bend it myself. It’s going in a 1978 half ton truck that originally came with an in-line 6. There is NO aftermarket anything for it so I have had to do everything the hard way. I’m using an electric pump because I already have it and wanted to save a little money.
Now I just need to find a good suspension set up.
