Off the back of the master cylinder; top pipe rons along right chassis rail to front right wheel, middle pipe runs across the crossmember to the left chassis rail and to the left front wheel, the bottom pipe runs across the crossmember to the left chassis rail then back to the rear axle.
Sorry I could only get one photo up today the clouds and rain keep cutting my conection to the saterlight let me know what other angles you require.

This photo is like water to a very thirsty baboon. Thanks a Gazillion!!!! Would like to see shots of the rear pipe from master cylinder,& its exact location on the cross member to the bracket at the back if you can. And anything of the fuel lines. I know that'll take a few photos so I'll owe you.

Tony, the fuel lines come from each fuel tank, along the chassis (held by clips) up under the cab with a curl to minimise the effect of vibration, to the fuel cock under the floor. From there the single line goes to the fuel filter and then to the fuel pump. Sections of the fuel lines are covered with a sleeve of woven material which you can still buy. You slide it on before making the flares.
Another thing to note is the bundy tube for the brakes and fuel is the same size. As long as you have access to a double flaring tool these are not too expensive to make and you're able to buy all the parts, bundy tube, nuts and covering (which the vintage wiring harness people here in Melbourne import) brand new. Even the brake hoses can be made new which is a good idea of course.
Renewing all these components is a good thing to do because you never know what internal corrosion the original pipes may have.
Because of the differences between cab 12/13 the pics Robert takes of the fuel lines on my cab 12 should be helpful. I'll see what I have taken.

Default the curly bit

This pic is form when I was disassembling the F15 but it illustrates the anti-vibration curl as well as the original covering for the pipes (which was used only on fuel lines).

Default Fuel filter plumbing

And this (on a cab 13) is how the input/output goes at the fuel filter. Note the covering does not go all the way to the end of the pipes.

Default One more for the moment

This (again on a F15 wreck) illustrates the clips used to secure the fuel line to the chassis, in this case the step bracket.

Last 3 photos of break pipes.
Turning back along chassis
Rear end looking back from under gearbox (poor focus sorry)
Rear end from under back.
I carn't get fuel pipe shots for you as all fuel pipes and filters have been removed and a hose run under the engine cover to the pasenger foot well where it must have been put into a jerry can when it was last used.
