Just extend your stock wires back to the frame rail. Follow the inlet line from the fuel filter bowl back to the tank and cut the line. Be prepared to cuss a swear. There is not much room there and the lines are stiff. Not that bad of a job, but not much room there.

I went through 2 lps in about six months of buying my truck. It hurt the VP44 went from about 17 mi per gal to 12. Installed a FASS 150/95 and haven't had a single problem with fuel up to the vp44 the past 2 years. The vp44 is still only 12mi per gal damage can't be reversed but hasn't got worse. Fuel pressure hasn't been below 11 and idles at 14. Bought the truck used with 190,000 and has about 250,000 now.
Just some info for you to think about.
