S10 fuel pump cutout
 

While i recommend pulling the bed, some have asked for measurements for a proper cut.

Pictures speak volumes

Regular Cab, short bed

cut 14" to 22" from driver side wall

Great info! Thanks!

While pulling the bed used to be no big deal, I don't have the room I used to when I was working in dad's shop. As long as one can fix the hole properly, this makes a job that once was a real chore a pretty easy process. I'm sure there are lots of other guys in the same boat I am with not much time, help, or room to pull a bed, but can cut a hole like nobody's business :lol:

Pull the bed? Drop the tank.

My brain defaults to the bed, pulling those 6 bolts and wrangling a good helper always was my preferred method vs jacking up the truck, then half dropping a 100 pound tank full of gas after you broke the straps then fanagling the hoses and wires loose before you break something. :lol:

I'll never understand why more vehicles didn't come with the fuel pump access panel that some cars had under the rear seat.
