Fuel pump.

Somewhere along the line I missed the detail of removing the fuel pump.  This entry, then, is a belated catch-up.  Already got the story on the fuel line in Step 8.

On most modern vehicles, a fuel pump is an electric motor.  On the Green Truck, the fuel pump is a mechanical pump driven by the camshaft.  Removing it was simple.  A couple of bolts, and it was off.

 

Looking at the fuel pump more closely off of the engine, I have to think that it may have been installed more recently than 1949.  Probably a replacement.
