The transmission pump is inside the transmission. Remove the trans from the truck, remove the torque converter, and there it is. It takes a puller to get it out of the case.

Any transmission supply house will have a pump.

It is very rare for a pump to fail without a lot of other problems inside the trans. If the pump needs replacing most likely the whole trans needs a rebuild.

I wonder why he thinks the pump is bad. Usually when someone calls it a front transmission pump they have no idea what goes on inside a transmission. There is only one pump, why call it a front pump?

I suspect he has no idea what's up with the truck. There may or may not be serious problems with it. If it really needs a pump it probably is not drivable.

years ago I had a friend with a 67 chevy, you would put it in gear and wait a few then it would engage. It was the pump seals.

I know a transmission shop that could maybe fix it. It will only take them 2-3 months....
JK, I would pass.

Front pump

There is only one pump, why call it a front pump?
In the older transmissions there was both a front pump and a rear pump. Once the designs changed, a lot of people continue to use the phrase "front pump" because it is still in the physical position of the old designed front pump.

A rebuilt 5R110W will cost you $1500-$2000. If you are a decent mechanic you can install it yourself fairly easily, but there still remains the question why the seller thinks he has a bad front pump.

Given that lack of information and the asking price, I would look elsewhere.

Of course, if you are a good enough mechanic and have the tools available, you can rebuild it yourself for under $500.00.

I would offer no more than a reasonable amount, minus the cost of a full tranny rebuild with installation at a reputable shop, plus some extra for your troubles.

Assume the worst - in this case, a full rebuild.
