Hi, Needing to rebuild or replace my fuel pump for my 1933 1.5 ton truck. Currently it has it's original stock manual fuel pump. Thinking an electronic would ease a lot of worries – any suggestions on where to go or what to get?

Thanks for the help.

No need for an electric fuel pump. Your original will work fine and for a long time if it is rebuilt using a diaphragm that is impervious to alcohol.
Bob Marx at Marxparts in Wisconsin will rebuild your pump or perhaps sell you a kit so you can do it yourself.
All my old Chevys are running on mechanical pumps.

Thank you both Mike and Ed. I do believe I just need a rebuild, possibly only a new diaphragm after looking closer at it.

Mike, I took a look at Marx Parts, looks like a kit is available. I appreciate the help.
