I'm not sure I understand what you are doing. However, the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. The easiest way to access it is to remove the bed.

Let me know if that doesn't answer your question.

PS: What do you mean by you're bagging it?

You need a pump that will produce between 44 and 54 psi. The OEM one is in the fuel tank. You can find them that mount to the frame that will produce that pressure, but remember you need a return line to the fuel tank from the regulator. Is there a reason you are removing the tank?
