We'll I went with the 392 but I'm having trouble deciding what fittings to use

That's what I ended up with after running around getting fittings yesterday, napa/central Indiana rubber

Should I switch to this setup?? Not many fittings that I would need to change, input? Is the first one to far away or will it be fine??

Not a fan of the sharp 90° fittings if they can be avoided. Try using radiused 90° hose ends and straight fittings wherever possible.

You'll figure it out.
It's a truck, not a space shuttle.
It will work out, just use what you're able to get ahold of.

I would not rig it up like that first picture....too hard to
change the pump if it goes out.

mount the pump separately, so you can change it alongside the road if you have too.....

I mounted mine inside the frame rail driver's side on a plate and used nut extenders to lift it up (so filters don't hang down). Where I drive I need the ground clearance (some times) and was afraid I'd knock them off. Have pix in sig.

I will add another caution against setting up the pump as shown in the first picture. The fuel pumps create a fair bit of vibration when running and should be mounted in a "soft" enclosure with rubber lines attached. The soft mount allows the vibrations to "escape and be dampened" into the mount. If the pump is rigidly mounted then the vibrations will be dampened into the internal parts of the pump which will shorten the life of the pump considerably.
