Fuel Tank Fittings Question From New Member

Hello TDR members, I am a new member and this is my first post on the site. I joined the TDR because I was amazed at the amount of information and knowledge that is available from the members of these forums. I do my own routine maintenance and some minor mods. I have been reading the posts for a few years now and have picked up a lot good information here that has saved me a lot of grief when working on my truck.

I recently had a brake line failure on my '91.5 due to rust and I am in the process of replacing all of the steel brake lines and hoses. I intend to bypass the ABS module and disable the controller after reading the advice from the members here.

I removed the fuel tank today in order to replace the brake line behind the tank. When I removed the tank, I discovered that the steel supply and return fuel lines are also rusted and decide to replace those also.

On the top of the fuel tank module are two fittings - the supply line fitting is plastic and is a quick disconnect type fitting that appears to be in good condition. However, the return line fitting is metal and is rusted beyond recognition. My question is - is the return fitting available from Mopar or another source? If not, is there a suitable aftermarket replacement?

Looking forward to any advice.

Thanks,
Jim
