Just curious if anybody has cut an access panel in their truck bed for easy access to their fuel pump?

I'm going to do this to my 07-13 Silverado to simplify installing a new fuel pump when the time comes (I'm going to keep this truck a long time, so I'll need a fuel pump eventually).

I'll rivet in some flat steel on the under side around all side to bolt the panel to so the floor remains strong. I run a bed mat so it won't be visable once done.

Here's a couple of Utube videos of guys doing this.

 

nope I've never needed to replace a fuel pump in my life, so I don't feel like it's worth making holes in my floor for.

 

Use search for "fuel pump access" there's a recent thread - for some reason I can't copy the link for you

 

It beats lifting the whole bed off to gain access to it.

Ask me how I know, lol.
