Unhappy never enough gas

so i bought an 86 chevy lwb with saddle tanks three days ago and it was running fine. yesterday i was driving and it just died. when i crank it it takes forever to get enough fuel into the filter and to the carb to start. when it finally starts it idles fine until it drains the filter and dies. i replaced the fuel pump and it started up again and ran fine for ten minutes. now it is doing the same thing again. replaced the pump AGAIN and still no better. has anyone here had issues with the selector valve sucking air? i am beginning to think this is my culprit.

just another old truck someone else beat up, abused, hacked and didnt respect... my turn to turn it into a beat up old truck into a beat up and reliable pleasure to drive...

them- "when you gonna put an exhaust on that thing?"

me- "what do you mean? The exhaust comes all the way to the bumber and sounds great!"

them- "straight pipes isnt an exhaust man..."

me- "meh... who needs a fancy muffler when you've got straight pipes? its got a cat, doesnt resonate, and I like how it sounds, and to be perfectly honest, it makes me behave myself when I'm out and about!"

^^^ favorite conversation about my truck to date
