Re: best carburetor for a ‘79 GMC C7000

1976GMC20....the auxiliary pump is driven by a Wisconsin TJD. The PO (a pro auto mechanic) lightly rebuilt it. Ran on the bench but didn’t when he reinstalled it on the truck. The truck has been sitting so I am working on the systems to put them right. Main pump does work. The biggest problem is the carb......won’t start after six hours without being primed. For now, maybe the fuel pump mentioned above would be a quick fix.
Truck will be stationary for the most part.
Don’t know enough about wildland fire fighting to even ask questions.
I was hoping for a consensus on a replacement carb....too many things to do to spend time rebuilding a carburetor.
Thanks for the input.
