if your truck is rusty as your user name suggests I'd consider the cut thru floor method- my lines rusted and broke when lowering the tank- still sourcing replacement line.
Another user here tried this, and I did it as well, successfully: Pull up the carpet over top of the fuel sender unit and cut a hole through the floor. Disconnect the fuel lines and sender wires, remove the sender through the hole you cut. Fix or replace the sender, put it back through the hole into the fuel tank, connect the fuel lines and wires. Button up the hole
i think this a very "ghetto"/lazy way of doing it. don't cut a hole in your floor. do it properly
beleve me when its -30 outside an a 1 1/2' of snow on the ground youll wish you had the hole to do it the lazy way also.
just my 2 cents on fuel pumps ......
buy a good QUALITY pump ..
