Much easier to remove the box. Six bolts, unplug the electrical connectors at the back for the rear lights, and four guys can lift the box off. Tester ---

Had a customer come back claiming that his sender/pump was not changed because he could not see any work marks on the tank straps,removing the box is the way to go. ---

Thirded. All the guys over at [s10forum.com](http://s10forum.com) who have installed inline fuel pumps (or have needed to access the fuel pump for whatever reason) all recommend removing the bed rather than dropping the tank.
