1987 F-150 fuel pump question

Hi:
New guy here. I recently picked up a decent '87 150 on a deal, knowing there was some kind of problem. I'm very mechanical but not familiar with this fuel system. It's a 302 with two fuel tanks. It was surging pretty bad when you tried to drive it. A friend who has a carb shop looked at it and said someone has taken the switch valve off the frame and disconnected the rear tank. He also said it has an outboard fuel pump that looks stock, and the missing switch valve has what looks like a fuel line replacement kit, because he says it fits perfectly where the switch should be, including the right Ford fuel line fittings.

I'd just as soon return it to stock so I can have both tanks.

Here's my questions:

1. Did some come with an outboard fuel pump?
2. Correct part number for switch valve.
3. There's got to be a number three......hmmmm. Well , something's bound to crop up.

Thanks,
Bruce
