740 gl regina one fuel pump 700 1990

How hard is it to replace a fuel pump in truck on a 740 gl rex/regina one fuel pump car? I have replaced the filter - car starts but stalls and reading all post here have identified my fuel pump as the culprit.
Thoughts on doing it myself or having it done and cost of each if any one has an idea greatly appreciated.
I have done most of the work on my blue bomber 20 years old so perhaps it must be the pump. I get spark - it runs but dies so either and air leak but I think it is starved for fuel at this point.

thanks all

    Just did the job a few days ago. Mine was a real pain because the hose clamps at the sender unit were all extremely rusty. It took bashing and such to get them loose, which I really didn't want to do around the gas tank. Other than that, it is a pretty straightforward process. Oh, also be careful hooking up the wires to the new pump. They are a bit tricky to get hooked up and then back into the tank without issue.

    Cost me what the pump cost: about $115.

    I imagine you'd probably be looking at around $350-$500 to have someone else do the job.

    good luck!

      I did check that out but now frosty in my garage so may have to spend the cash.
      I have kept the my blue 740 running now though it is not and after all my figuring and diagnosing gotta believe it is the pump.
      I did some investigating looking at how I could access the pump and even with direction looks a wee bit challenging.
      Will keep all posted.
      thanks for the help and hand holding

        It is tricky. The biggest hurdle for me was the rusty nipples for the fuel hoses.
        They can easily break or crack when working on the unit.
        Take a look at yours, if the hose nipples are weak, consider a new or used assy.
