It's not economically practical for a large business to rebuild a pump that may have billions X billions X billions of operating cycles. It costs too much to fix a part that's just completely worn out. I happy to have a pump that fits well, installs well, pumps out between 3 an 4 PSI and lasts a long time. If it is an original AC or Carter, there's usually a number stamped on the base, have a tag or a cast part number somewhere. This is what you need to do research on for on a 100% original truck (trailer queen). Join AACA and post your question.
If you can't stand the look of a new replacement pump, spray paint it flat black so nobody can see it.
BTW, Spectra is a great Canadian company especial fuel tanks. I looked up the Spectra Premium SP1124 that Tiny mentioned. The website says 5 to 8 psi. It okay from a quick few seconds of priming but if you plan to use it all the time, then you need add a pressure regulator.
