This truck has been sitting for 30 years. It runs fine if I feed it fuel, but the pump is not "pumping".

Can it be rebuilt? Any chance of being gummed up, or should I just replace it?

I'd be more worried about what is in the fuel tank. The old gas turns to varnish and can cause many problems like stuck valves. The suppliers do sell rebuild kits for the pumps but its cheaper to go to your local flaps and buy a replacement. They usually have it on the shelf. Until you get inside the tank to verify its condition I would recommend using a remote gas tank to get the truck running. Good Luck.

Thanks for the input Don.

I am actually running off an gas can right now due to not knowing the condition of the inside of the tank.
