Those would not be what I would use on my '92 CC dually.

I have the Dorman pack in my truck, but I'm at my daughter's house and cannot remember the number. I'll be home tomorrow. If nobody has given the number remind me and I'll get it for you.

Yeppers I put some of those in last year...then the O-rings started weeping. Tried pickin them out...PITA...but got them replaced. Wound up that I put NBR's in and found out they don't play nicely with our fuel of choice. Went back to put Dorman Vitons in, and those were too loose? Sealed package, but those little shukkers would push out of the groove and down into the tube every time (3) I tried to put the Q-Con on. And that was enough of that.
I just want to get new quick-connect ends FOR 3/8 and 5/16 lines ( NOT THE FACTORY 6.5498mm ONES)... If I am gonna do this its gonna be an UPGRADE

Straights for the tank ends, 90's and Straights for the FSV.

..already have 3/8" and 5/16" line.

My thing is I don't know if the tanks are "Bundy type" connection, or Common "quick-connects", or Hoozyer type...same thing on the FSV. If I knew what type these connectors are...I could just order what I need off of FleabaZon.:bail

What's the moral of the story here? What's the best source of clips and orings that fit stock plastic lines?

So what you're really saying...is that you don't know what type ends Ford used on these trucks...

Because the ones I've got are all BROKEN and no amount of clips or O-rangs is gonna fix that. The ends need replacing...

But thanks for the input...
