You don't have to pull the bed to drop the tank. You pull the bed instead of dropping the tank. It allows you access to the pump without unbolting the tank at all. A big plus if you have a 35-gallon tank nearly full of fuel that weighs over 200 pounds.

Pulling a few bolts off and lifting the bed is far easier than dropping the tank and takes far less time.

Dropping the tank is all the Suburban / Blazer guys have to look forward to.

Don't waste your time on any cheap off brand fuel pumps. I have seen far too many that were DOA or worked very poorly after installed right out of the box.

Get an AC Delco pump and avoid having to do this job twice.

I used it as an excuse to clean up and paint the frame & rear end while the bed was off. I probably removed five pounds of off road debris from the top of the fuel tank.
