The sock is detachable from the bottom of the pump is it not? I've always thrown away the sock whenever doing any pump swap on any vehicles of mine. That's what the inline filter is for 
Granted I've never had to replace a pump on my silverado so I don't know if its necessary or not

Why dont you just notch your bucket a little more and move the pump up in the bucket? You could also recut and flare the rods on the bucket so it did not sit on the bottom of the tank.

don't know if you fixed the problem......but a pump sock from a 5.0 mustang will work with the Walbro pumps and is available at most auto parts stores. Has a plastic skeleton inside the sock to prevent blockage
