i vote for the bed. 8 bolts, filler neck, and two plugs for the taillights. i did my fuel pump in 2 hours start to finish. its a real beeotch if you have any decent amount of gas in your tank if you want to drop it.

Dropping the tank is a piece of cake, I did a little write-up, its in a sticky up top.

Dropping the tank is a piece of cake. Takes about 1 1/2 hours start to finish. Make sure to run the tank down to E before you try to drop the tank.

I would not take the risk of damaging the bed. Why not just run the tank empty and drop it from below. Two bolts holding the cover, two holding the straps, 3-4 lines to un plug and you are free. 45 min MAX if the tank is empty and easy to handle.
