I put a new fuel pump on my 1983 Dodge van (318 engine) a few months
ago.It was a relativley easy job.That is why I prefer my old clunkers.

On my F150 you just remove the 6 bolts that hold the bed to the frame,
release one electrical conenctor and lift the bed off. Once that is out of
the way, replacing the pump is easy.

By the time they get old enough to be in my driveway, you still need
air tools for the big bolts - or else a BIG breaker bar.
