Default Fuel line 75 model

Would anyone know whether the fuel on a 1975 model is metal from the fuel tank all the way to 6 or 7 inches from the fuel pump? I'm trying to replace all rubber in the fuel system.

Yes it is. Or rather... yes they are. A 75 has a steel supply line and steel return line from the tank to the fuel pump area. I’ve seen some here refer to the return as a “vapor” line.

pretty sure the 75,s had 3 steel lines , two on the passenger side ,one supply, one return . On the drivers side it had a line from the tank to the charcoal cannister, this line was the tank breather or sometimes "vapour" line.
