Hose from Tank to Line 72

That is most likely what I will do before I replace the line this winter during the resto. Unfortunately my lift is currently occupied and it's a b---- to get leverage while laying on the ground. I just figured if Chrysler had some odd reason for making it this way from the factory I wouldn't screw with it, but I decided not to try and save this fuel line anyway so who cares. Thanks!
After looking at it, I believe @Professor Fate is correct in that the hard line is supposed to be behind that fuel tank strap. If you do that, you will move the fuel line back enough I believe where you will be able to get a short section of hose on it without bending it. That's what I would try first.
