Can't recall what brand I got - probably duralast from autozone, but it has been working fine. The biggest mistake I made was not emptying the fuel tank as an early step in the process. Spilled maybe 5 gallons of gas and scared the daylights out of me.
 






to add to this , we like to drop the tank enough to unbolt the pump assembly and drop the tank off of it , this avoids dealing with the lines , change the pump and sock and slide it all back together ,
 






I put in. Works great. Car has been in a field for two years. Its awesome to hear it run again getting a rim and new tires. Then i need fix front bumper.
 






For Future Reference:

Pictured BELOW is the type/design of Fuel Strainer (aka sock) that was on my original fuel pump

DENSO 9520033

NOTE: The BOSCH offering pictured BELOW is not at all like the original from FORD

It's less than 1/2 the size of the factory original from FORD!

Yeah, I bought a Bosch fuel pump once that came with that little square strainer. I didn't use it. I usually just get a full sized one from my local AutoZone, or on eBay (Airtex FS199). The FP's that come with the strainer use that square size because that FP fits many other vehicles.
