OK so after cleaning and prepping the block and block off plate, I installed the fuel pump block off plate.
A NOTE...I HAD TO SHORTEN THE PUMP MOUNTING BOLTS TO WORK WITH THE BLOCK OFF PLATE ABOUT 5/16"-3/8"

Now that the pump is out and block is blocked off....I can move on to the lil green pump
Here it's resting in what I think is a good location for this pump, well protected and quite low on the frame, allowing a good siphon of tank!

it will set about here on the inside of the frame, I'm using it as a guide to mark the one hole I have to drill to mount it...as I used an existing hole for one bolt...Work smarter not harder!

I stuck this white trim board between the lines and the frame so when I drilled through frame I would not hit the fuel/brake/electrical lines

Here is the pump with the larger 5/16" bolts instead of those little ones it came with...ugh?

Thats about it, I ran the wire along the main harness up into the cab where I have other wires passing through a rubber grommet. I tied into the main fuse box on the tank select fuse on the KEY ON HOT side and also used a 5 AMP fuse on that line for the pump.
The pump is grounded directly to one of the mounting bolts through the frame with a wire that comes out with the HOT wire.
So then I used 5/16 rubber fuel line from the original steel feed line that fed the stock lift pump, up to the stock filter housing having removed the steel hard line and fittings and adding a 1/4" NPT/5/16" barb fitting in the filter housing.
I was quite pleased when I turned the key....got fuel to filter head. Installed an ATF filled filter, primed and the truck fired up nice!
