Yeah I agreed that the original is better and should be rebuilt. But it's more about budget right now than the best thing. I ordered a replacement pump so I can move the truck outside to cut the fender, running boards, and bed off. I will keep original to rebuild later. I am trying get body work done before I have to go back to work. I am a teacher and budget and time are major factors.

I took the pump apart the diaphragm was bad. I looked for a rebuild kit and it cost more than a new pump

I have a 1949 B series 5 window that I'm in the process of doing the body work on. I went to Move It Outside The Barn to grind off some bolts so I could remove the bed for body work. The motor is lost his prime started it up with some ether fuel pump kicked in squirting fuel everywhere. The pump has less than 2 years old I've already ordered another one. I'm thinking of switching to an electric pump. My system is still 6 volt positive ground. I would love to get this thing switched over to 12 volt and upgrade everything but it's a marathon not a Sprint. Any suggestions on my fuel pump issue would be great. If I decide to go Electric what is the proper wiring schematic? I just added a couple pictures the truck that I'm working on because I'm excited about it it was my father-in-law's pride and joy he had a stroke and couldn't keep it up. It for five years my wife and her sister were going to sell it I told him I would keep it and fix it up. My father-in-law is in a nursing home and I'm hoping I can get it paint it and take him for one final ride. Got a lot of work to do and on a budget.
