The Ford Barn

Howdy! I am new to Ford Barn having just acquired a 1950 Ford F1. My immediate goals are to just get her to run as my dad drove the truck into the barn and parked it several years ago. I recently replaced the rusted fuel tank and put on a new fuel pump but am not having any luck getting fuel into the carburetor. I am not a mechanic but can follow rules pretty well.

Any recommendations for how to test the pump? I only put about 1.5 gallons in to avoid having to drain tank if required. Not sure if it needs more than that or not.

Thanks for the help and can’t wait to learn more and get the truck fired up.
