Ford to my knowledge utilized a fame mounted booster pump to supplement the in tank pump in the 80s, where a truck with two tanks had three pumps. In my admittedly minimal experience there, the booster won't work on its own, or at least not sufficiently. That is, pulling fuel through a dead pump in the tank.

I'm considering something like the Carter P5001 suggested on the swap info page here. I'm not a fan of remote pumps, but with the tank in the cab, I'd rather not listen to it. I know someone likely sells a bolt in solution ready for an in tank configuration, but I'm also operating on a minimal budget and would prefer to maintain any original parts I can.

I have a picture in my mind that looks very clean, but that doesn't matter much if it doesn't work. I figure this is the best place to hear of other's trials and errors.
