Can anyone help this worn out parts procure-er? Where can I find replacement lines and fittings for the original oil gauge to block plumbing?

Hy GMCdp, how much of the stuff do you need? I assume we're talking about gauge plumbing for a GMC engine. The lines are just 3/16", then there is a special tee at the front of the engine, and a small section of rubber flex in the line that goes up to the cab.

Nevermind. To my surprise, Napa had the fittings and copper tubing. Just in case anyone else has a problem with this, the fittings were called threaded sleaves from an Eaton catalog and the line was just copper tubing (whatever the size was, probably 1/8" OD). They also had the adapter to 1/8" pipe thread for the block connection.
