honestly on that model it is easier to pull the bed off, leave the tank in place, just remove the 6 or 8 bolts that hold the bed to the frame, buy a 12 pack, invite a few buds over, lift the bed onto the rear tires and you have all the access you need for the fuel pump.

I would think on a 1988 pick up the bolts for the bed would be

in rough shape?

dropping the tank isnt THAT bad by the way, not all manufacturers

are so kind as to give you a access door to the tank so alot of them

have to be dropped.

nice find!



I really want a Bronco. I used to drive one at work. 4WD, great turning radius, removable top, back seat, cargo space, towing capacity, ground clearance, and that awesome green color that our agency painted them. I think I could get one cheap at a state auction.

Yeah, it's got the intank pump. In 87 they started to fuel inject them and got rid of the mechanical pump that bolted to the engine. Taking the bed off might be a option but I know those bolts aren' in the best shape, I'd hate to break off a couple. I already have the tank strap bolts soaking in WD-40 so that should help out a bit. If it doesn't I'll just have to take the torch out and cut the straps off



Thats a nice dooly you have there, 454? If so I bet that sucker gets 9mpg loaded or unloaded, thats what my buds 90 4x4 K3500 454 gets in the winter.

1revvin7- hah, yeah right! The truck will just be used to haul **** around and get me to work when it snows like a bastard. I'll keep driving the integra when the roads aren't totaly shitty.

Nope. Just a little ol' 350, coupled to a TH400 tranny. It pulled horse trailers in its former life, so the body and bed are in phenomenally great shape. On a good day, it gets 10 mpg.
