Doing a Hutch/Harpoon mod
Dropped tank and discovered my pick-up foot was in the bottom of tank in a hundred pieces. I cleaned the BLACK screens and reinstalled, going to pick up another foot with screen tomorrow from Ford ($65) ouch! Should i put it back original, or go ahead and eliminate screens and install a pre pump filter? If a pre pump filter is the way to go, what kind and where should i get it?

You can piece it together yourself or order a kit with all the bits. I did mine about 10 years ago and got the kit from ITP Diesel. I think RiffRaff also sells a setup that is simple & effective, plus he sells the foot you need for about 1/2 what that dealership wants to charge. For a pre-pump filter if I was doing it again, I'd go with the Racor PS-120 or something similar with a heater element for winter time.

DO NOT re-install the screens back in the tank.
I re-installed the foot with the screen at the bottom, but some don't.
Use a Racor PS120 pre-filter or the one from RiffRaff.
There is A LOT of info on this around the forum. This is my thread and how I accomplished the mod, which is still one of my favorites to date.

Clay sells it for $35 IIRC, I got the dealership to match the price ($80 was their price), I did not reinstall the screen on the bottom, somehow forgot it and only noticed after everything was buttoned up and there was NWIH, I was going to drop Tank again unless I absolutely had too. I haven't had any issues either...

Run the Racor PS120. A lot of us are running it with very few issues reported. I had 1 issue but it was installer error. DO NOT use anything on the threads of the clear plastic housing.

I found the foot with screen at O'reillys for $36. I have already cut the tube for harpoon modification. I have to visit ACE hardware for the compression fittings and fuel lines. Hopefully i will have time to finish tomorrow. Thanks everyone!!! This site is awesome.
