bad fuel pump

Have you checked the dealership? I wouldn't advise running a junker fuel pump.
Late 20R engines had an electric in-tank pump, and any dealership worth its salt would know that and where to find one.
However, a 79-80 head will have bosses for a mechanical fuel pump. As a Plan B, you can tap those bosses and convert to mechanical.

As far as the rest of your post. Are you looking for a new transmission as well?
Have you looked into having a local shop rebuild your current one? That was my decision a year back, and it was the best 1200 bucks I've ever spent in my life.

Holy crap use a period here and there!

Seriously.

Rock auto sells fuel pumps. And the dealership. And Napa.

Pretty common knowledge with people who know Toyotas that some 20R engines had electric fuel pumps.

I would never search for a fuel pump in a junkyard.

Engine and tranny? You want rebuilt or used? Used = craigslist and internet classifieds, or asking around town. Rebuilt there are places online, or probably places locally.

Rock auto link isn't going all the way...choose Toyota, 1980, pickup and fuel/air. Fuel pump. You'll see that 1980 offered mechanical, electric in-line pump and electric in-tank pump.
