As far as I know, all the gasser trucks had a clip on the frame, box mount, or fuel pump protector box back by the front of the rear wheel on the passenger side, and the filter had both inlet and outlet on the top of the filter.
The diesel 720 had the pre-filter on the firewall in the same type clip with both outlets on the top of the filter, the hose then went to the lift pump, then to the main filter which then went to the front of the injection pump.

im sort of a beliver that the general rule is a fuel filter is a fuel filter is a fuel filter so here is a pic of the one i am currently running. it looks a lot like the stock one i had on my 86 dodge minivan. that had a 4cyl too.
again, thanks for your help. i started a thread about things i can get rid of under hood if anyone wants to check it out. i think im the only guy whos threads start with 720 motorhome. lol.
peace,
