Pull the seat forward; it's on top of the tank. There's an insulated stud on one side that gets a 90° connector boot with a coil spring inside attached to a wire across the top that is in a probably rotting sheath. The sender is installed with a locking ring one can rotate with a small hammer and screwdriver. Once it come out, you'll probably need a new gasket and that's not so easy. I don't know the original thickness.

The sending unit wiring in your truck should look similar to the attached photo. It's a 1 wire hookem up.
