working on my fuel pump issue, getting the pump that was on my 53 3100 216 rebuilt (it has angled ports and no glass bowl). But what is the correct pump for a 53 3100 with a 216? is it a glass bowl pump or one with a metal top? It looks there was a change in '52 but can't find the details.
I believe it had the glass fuel filter. Hopefully someone will chime in to confirm.

According to the parts listing (attached pic) the same fuel pump with angled outlet was used from 1937-1954, although that may be a replacement unit, not necessarily original equipment. The repair kits, have a break between 51 and 52 (second pic) however, indicating that original equipment pumps were different. I know that the fuel pump on my '51 has straight through inlet and outlet with glass bowl. I have no idea whether it's original or not, but I believe the originals had glass bowls. I used the number stamped on it (1523089) to get a repair kit from Then and Now Automotive.

From what I have observed, cars had the angled ports in order to be able to route the lines around the motor mount. Trucks came with straight front to back ports. They both work on trucks. You just need to bend the fuel line a bit.

Per the parts list I posted above, cars and trucks use the same pump (at least the replacement pumps.)

Thanks for the info. I sent the metal top pump to Now and Then for rebuilding, it was working fine since I bought the truck, but has since failed. I have 2 more e-bay pumps on the way one is 1523089 and the other is 429 AF. Both glass bowl. I plan to get the best one of those rebuilt and put a glass bowl pump on the truck and keep the metal top for a spare. So it looks like the 1523089 will fit and not sure about the 429
I'm pretty sure my truck has a 429 AF. Sounds familiar.

They are the same pump. They have straight in/out connections.
Where did you get that listing from? It differs from the one I posted (from the 1929-1954 Chevrolet Master Parts and Accessories Catalog) and also from the 1929-1957 Chevrolet Master Parts and Accessories Catalog found in Keith Hardy's online collection HERE.

From the 1952 Master Parts Catalog. They drop the AC-429 pump in April of 53.
So maybe it’s a USA vs Canada detail But I’ve only ever seen the straight parallel to block fuel pumps in trucks through to 53 model year With a glass top filter bowl I usually don’t peak into anything newer at the junk yards And the metal line from the pump to the carbs are definitely bent for straight in out pumps all the way to 54 Perhaps they came that way from factory and if/when the pump failed it was expected to use the angled pump officially But so far for me in SK all my trucks (and there are 12 and counting from 48-53 on my farm) use the parallel to block style -s
I don't think the angled outlet was original to mine, who ever put the pump on cut the metal lines and added rubber hose to make it fit. Looks like they had an angled outlet pump and did not have the 20 deg fitting and made it work but who knows how many pumps it had in its life.
