Thanks for all the replies guys. I'd be more comfortable replacing the pump. I'm sure it's original. Is it smart to just use a new OEM style vs an aftermarket type and location? I'd rather do that.

Looks like I'll be ordering a side fill Boyds carb tank, prebent lines (SS or steel?), fuel pump (and filter?) and new rubber line sections if the hard line kit isn't complete from carb to pump to tank. For filler neck, I'll use a pre-fabbed "box" that mounts to the inside of the bed corner. Anything else?
