PM this guy and see if he has any. (I found him on another forum, and he had a couple, but, that was back in december. Worth a shot...)

Other alternative would be to get one of the steel lines, that has the pressure test port in it, and get the correct connector from the parts store, and graft it onto your fuel line.

Thank you so much! He found one and shipped this afternoon. I should be able to put it in this weekend.

USPS priority, only going 1 state away, wrote fragile all over it, they shouldn't have it long enough to damage it.
Hammer comment is for OP, that is how it broke in the first place.

Thanks to HeyYou and 1999blkdakrt I finally got the fuel rail replaced and the truck running. I noticed the gas petal is really stiff. Is this normal or is something now wrong with my throttle?

Not normal. Check the routing of the throttle cable. There is a little black plastic feller on the linkage at the throttle body the cable needs to go under. Make sure it does.

If that looks ok, open the throttle by hand, and see if it is the TB that is stiff, or the cable.
