After buying my uncle's 1954 3100 5-window from his widow and my cousins, I discovered the fuel had gone bad and varnished. I pulled the carburetor and took it to get rebuilt. The rebuilder convinced me to replace and/or refurbish the entire fuel system, including a new fuel tank. I've completed the entire system rebuild, and now I'm trying to get the truck started. With the new fuel tank and cleaned out lines all the way to the carburetor, I'm having trouble getting the fuel pump to get the system "primed" and get the new fuel up to the carburetor. Any ideas how to get this new fuel system doing it's thing?


Finally bought my uncle's 1954 3100 that has been in the family since new.
