I'm not sure what bendable brake line is. I use regular steel tubing and a tubing bender, when I worked as a mechanic everyday I had enough strength in my hands to not need a bender. Gas burns, why risk a vehicle taking the easy way out of making fuel lines?
Bendable brake line=steel brake line.

You do not want rubber coming off the pump. Its to close to the exhaust. The 70s stuff had steel coming off the pump up untill about the intake manifold where a rubber line attaches then goes to the filter into the carb.

FWIW.

Yes, you can buy bendable brake line so don't need a tube bender, it is steel line, easy to work with, but cost more per foot than regular brake line
So use regular line for any longer straight runs then bendable at either end as needed

Either kind comes in different lengths and diameters with threaded fittings already installed, you can use couplers or other fittings as needed

Ford used 5/16th fuel line diameter on Rangers
