I like that idea but you might want to start hitting those 8 bolts with penetrating oil because if your fuel lines are corroded, you can almost bet so are those bolts. I ended up having to grind the heads on my bed bolts when I replaced the bed on my F350.

That's good knowing you did the job right! Thank you!
The nickel copper lines are the ones you want to buy. You'll need a flare tool and fittings if you go that route as they come in rolls and not prebent like the ones you're planning on using.
I've replaced a complete set of lines on an old w300. It's not hard work, just a little more involved then prebent. My toys stay in Arizona so I don't worry about corrosion factor, but if it's your first time tackling something like this the prebent stainless steel lines will be the easiest and quickest option.
No one is going to fault you for using SS, it's your truck at the end of the day and hopefully the new lines will last just as long as the old ones did.
