Hey guys im shorting up the wheel base on my current ranger build so im relocating the tank to the bed, does anyone know where i can get the appropriate fittings to extend my fuel lines, are they the same as the gm ones?

I would imagine any part store and a good flaring tool wouldn`t hurt.

I didnt even think to just cut the lines and extend them that way, i was just going to extend them after the fitting, thanks for the input, itll be alot easier this way
