The pump is an electric unit mounted inside the fuel tank together with the sending unit for the fuel gauge. You have to drop the tank to remove it.

Try to get most of the fuel out of the tank before dropping down the tank. Pull the fuel pump fuse and crank the engine over a few times to empty the gas lines. Use a tranny jack to support the tank and unbolt the two straps that hold it in place. Once you lower the tank a little bit you should have access to the place on top where the lines connect. Be careful disconnecting lines - if you break any of the little tubes they go onto you might have to replace the whole sending unit. Follow the pump wires away from the tank to find the electrical connector - it's about a foot away.

Once the lines and the electrical connector are disconnected you can drop the tank all the way and take it out from under the truck. To remove the sending unit you need to turn the lock ring so that the ring tabs align with slots in the collar and the ring pops out. It's just like a can lid - lefty-loosey. Be prepared for a bunch of rust there and have penetrating oil ready. There are special wrenches for this ring, but you can make do with a punch or flat blade screwdriver and a hammer.

When the ring is off you can pull out the unit. The fuel pump is attached with a small bit of hose. Be careful not to bend the ring at the bottom too much - it's flimsy.

I am no expert but it is pretty simple to locate, it is on the driver side directly behind the cab bolted to the frame. it should simply be a matter of matching hoses and wires and plug and play.
