You should be able to get to all bolts with a long extension. There are holes on the bottom of the frame to access the bed bolts.

Well the fuel pump was the problem. She's running better than before.

While you were in there, I hope you also replaced the fuel pump pigtail wire harness, that there is a GM Technical Service Bulletin out on. Causes LOTS of fuel pump/fuel sender problems.

Hell yeah, replace the pigtail. I went through 6 fuel pumps in about 2 months before I found out about the pigtail problem. Dropping the tank in a tahoe 6 times sucked.

Ive done a couple of fuel pumps before and have never changed the pig tails. Good to know though...thanks

Ive worked out a deal with Drew (91Blkstpsd) to where I am trading him my rollpan and my old chevy grill for a set of medium dark tails with the clear reverse light and a tinted third brake light. If you not familiar with him here is a link to fsc where he sells them. His work is really clean.
