Good to have you, Ch1mp, and great avatar.
Welcome to the forum. There seems to be a lot of issues with fuel tanks doing exactly what yours did, rust. Be sure to get it as clean as possible and probably a great primer and some under coating over it to protect it for the next 20+ years. Replace the rubber lines as well, which I'm sure your going to do. Pumps can be found at RockAuto.com or your neighborhood auto parts stores.
Enjoy the forum :)
got the tank cleaned, installed w/new pump from high flow fuel systems, jumped it off and it runs like a champ :)
ok... finally got the title for the truck and went to go get it changed over. The truck starts up and idles great. I get to the main road and it has no power and tries to die when i give it gas, so i turn around and have to limp home at about 5mph anything over and it wants to cut out. I drove it today because I got off of work early and it runs until it gets warm and then does the same thing. I cut the cat off and drive it to my friends house(about 2 miles) and it runs great again. On the way home it runs great then starts the same thing but I can go about 45.....I need help

Did you replace your fuel filter?
Also, if it was sitting for a while the fuel injectors may need to be cleaned.
ok just got the fuel filter and some injector cleaner.hopefully cleaner will work cause i can't do 30bucks an injector to get them cleaned right now :( anyways I'll post n update....and thanks for the advise
