Look for Walbro pumps. I believe this is the TBI replacement model. Very high quality American pumps.

Walbro 5CA401 Fuel Pump Kit OE Replacement Includes Pre-Filter (Not Shown)

Walbro 5CA401 Electric Fuel Pump is an In-Tank Low Pressure fuel pump operating at 12 Volts with 12 PSI Pressure. Pumping out Min 29 GPH @ Outlet.

@JamesSam I posted in our PM but for the rest of you, I am going to try to get a couple cell phone videos so he can hear my fuel pump priming prior to engine start and then see my injector spray pattern with the truck idling. That may help or may not...

Not set up to post videos on the forum...

Yes, I read the stock actually does 18psi. I can't see us needing that, but understand the concept of having more psi, then adjust our regulator. I feel like 60 psi could be extreme for our build, and possibly dangerous. I may be fixing to drop tanks. RH made truck studder previously. Right now, no fuel to TBI when we started up. LH pump runs, just code 12. So gonna start with the lines, filter, and valve. Need to see if LH pump moves fuel. That was lengthy...but it is very in garage with heater.

I really need a garage space for my truck so I can begin doing the same.

by the looks of it my dad has been driving it around without plating it... that plate from the previous owner would have expired in 2009 lol

So yeah my dad got a ... 1978? 1977? C35 dually
454 and th400 presumably (its auto, so i presume th400)
I think this means its a dana axle because i dont think they did the 14s yet like this?

Should be a 14bolt FF(full floater) 2 quick ways to check count the bolts on the diff cover and if axles are bolted on it's a FF

For a 77 or 78 (ish) DRW truck should be a Dana (70hd I believe).

Out in the garage. Found a whole bunch of surface rust under the door frame weatherstripping. Went after it with my corner sander, and the drill with a plethora of different wire wheels, then applied some Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. I’ll eventually get her painted but this will save on ‘er for the meantime.

Regular duallies with a truck bed got the wide Dana 70HD model. Cab and chassis models (no bed) got the 14ff, but with a narrower track width than even the single wheel trucks with a 14ff.

For some reason I thought they mostly used 14bolt in the civilian trucks and usually d70 in the cucv variety Id still count the cover to be shure I wouldn't necessarily trust the book because my 75 srw has a 14bolt and so does my 83 drw cab and chassis truck that has 11k gvw not Shure about the regular dually check the cover it's easy and best way to know fershure

Is the 70HD good? I wonder if it has the pinion support like 14 bolt.

It doesn't have the bolt-in pinion housing, no.

On the truck or off, 3rd / 4th photos are definitely widowmakers
