Need help with new fuel filler tube 1985 F150
I bought a new 19 gallon side tank, filler neck and hose from LMC. Only the large diameter outer rubber hose was available. The original filler tube from the truck had an inner corrugated plastic tube... which I believe carries the fuel to the tank and I think the large rubber hose is for venting. I have spent hours searching all of the online auto parts dealers and can't seem to locate the inner hose... what the heck do I do? Where can I get one? PLEASE help!!!!

BillyBob- Thanks for weighing in. I've called all my local junkyards... they either cut the filler neck tubes off and keep the tanks or they "don't have anything that old" in their yard!
I suppose a guy could get ahold of some tubing that is the right diameter and just "fabricate" his own inner filler neck tube... What say the guru's here?
