If this truck is TBI or EFI, the fuel pump is in the gas tank, and the tank will need to be dropped to fix it. If I remember correctly, these pumps are not terribly expensive, but dropping the tank is a pain in the neck. Also, get a replacement sock for the pump if the replacement doesn’t have one, and also replace the fuel filter.
