This is another case where my electric hoist mounted in my garage will help lift off my bed if I ever have to change my fuel pump.:D

its easier to drop the tank UNLESS its full...plus here,we see so many redneck trucks with tool boxes and fifth wheel/redneck hitches taking the bed off would be a big chore...also there is the possibility of scratching the bed up on the bumper

If youre getting a new tank I would just drop the old one without taking the bed off seams like more work.

rubber lines are fine for pieces of #$@$ but if you dont want to get back down there in a matter of years i would put steel lines in there. that rubber dry rots really quick especially with gas running through them.

In most cases, from what Ive heard, removing the bed is the easiest way.
and while you got the bed off, do some cleanin. [sm=signs007.gif]

also, steel lines are the only way Id go.
