id ditch the low pressure feul pump and just use the high pressure. your gonna have issues with them. the high pressure will eventually burn out due to lack of feul from the low. but overall that looks good.

90psi?! wtf motor is gonna be in your truck? also you should make a low belly on the tank so you can actually suck more fuel up.

you don't need the low pressure pump. and i would keep the electronics away from the fuel. it's an extended cab right. put that stuff behind your seats. you would still have room for stuff back there. just my 2 pennies.
