‘83 C10 4spd Scottsdale-Gone but not forgotten. New replacement loading...

Mild restoration build to use as a truck should be used.
So now tonight’s adventure.

Drove to a buddies house to work on that black c30. After we were done messing with it I decided to head home. I was showing off cause my truck runs, and got on it a little bit while leaving. Well the truck sputtered and died. We all laughed then I tried to start it. Just cranked but wouldn’t fire. A little gas down the carb would make it fire, but not run. So we went and got a gallon of gas to throw in. Still wouldn’t start. Got another gallon, and it fired up. Went to the gas station and I couldn’t even get another full gallon into the tank. The gas was just sitting in the neck. Truck drove fine home, but was it really out of gas or not?
 
So I am currently sitting on the side of the road while my truck cools down. I am having vapor lock issues. I found this heater hose laying across my fuel line, which is not helping the issue. Other than that what else can I do to help the fuel temp?

Also looks like that hard line going into the carb has a slight link in it.
Maybe run a new line, and reroute it away from the exhaust some.
