Well Jessica sure has been having fun driving her NEW truck. Thanks to all that helped get her on the road. We have a fuel pump (without a vacuum pump) that has begun to weep fuel and needs to be replaced. My question is can I buy a fuel pump with the vacuum pump for this motor are they interchangeable? It seems as though looking at the pictures on the internet that fuel pumps w/vacuum pumps the actuator arm points up and without point down. I understand that the pictures could be deceiving since they might not be pictures of the actual parts. I would like to replace it with a vacuum assist since the truck has vacuum wipers that work......just not well.
The engine code (if it helps) is 3769716 as found behind the road draft tube. And the stamp behind the dizzy is F 11 30 B.
I've added this info because the motor is not original to the truck

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

If it is possible to use a vacuum assist my next set of questions will pertain to the new plumbing for the wipers, but I saw Denny had posted some helpful info I need to read thoroughly first.

I got a fuel pump with a vacuum pump from autozone for $64.99. Worked good. But I ended up using electric wipers. Here is the link should work. Was in stock at the wyoming store.

3769716 is a 59-62 235

Yes, you can use a dual-action fuel pump.

Thanks for the advice. I've got a dual action pump on it's way ($100) Not many to be had. The ones autozone carried stopped production on them and they are out of stock. Here locally all I could find is a Carter M73005. Everyone else wanted to sell me an inline electric and a blank plate for the hole in the block. I may have considered that route, but i really wanted the vacuum assist for the wipers.

It may not be original, but electric wipers are much extremely better if you actually need wipers, (I live in seattle, I need them) NOTE: this is merely my opinion, I fought with mine for 10 years and just gave up, Wish I had given up a lot earlier...
