Auxiliary tank filler hose alternative?

On my '76 my auxiliary tank filler hose is dry rotted and leaking. Does anyone know of a 'close' alternative hose to use I can pick up at my local parts store?? I've tried a google search to buy the one that is suppose to fit but can't find a good picture or they just have the pic of the ends and say 'cut to fit'. And being I have a 3" body lift I don't think a stock one will work. Thanks

The auxiliary tank is mounted to the body so a body lift does not change the proximity to the filler neck. Stock size should work fine.

Being the aux tank is attached to the body, a body lift makes no difference.

If I remember right that hose has a molded. That is harder. Don't cheat with a radiator hose. Won't hold fuel

Remind me not to drink and get on here. You are correct...Stock hose will work, I was thinking of the rear. Ordered a new one. Thanks guys for walking me thru this
