Rick sent me a couple of photos of progress on the fuel bucket, it is coming along nicely!
The bucket will now have a venturi set up like the factory. It is adjustable based on pump output, see photo below:
Also, a little more about the bulkhead electrical fitting. It is made from fuel resistant viton and teflon, and something Rick has been using for 15-plus years without issue. See the photos below:
I should have more photos tomorrow of the venturi set up.

Any more news on this?
I just purchased one yesterday should be here 9/17/2018. Still trying to figure out the best way to retain my evap system. 2011 gmc sierra 1500 dual 450 pumps and boost refrenced return style.

Rick's Tanks out of Texas is in the process of stepping into the late model GM truck fuel pump market. They have a bolt in aluminum fuel bucket and hat assembly that will allow for twin pumps without having to cut or modify the factory bucket. Bucket capacity is roughly 1/2 gallon without the pumps installed with the feed line refilling it. The hat has 3 ports, 2 feed and 1 return and a provision for the fuel pressure sensor. The buckets will also have a bracket to install the factory fuel level sensor.. Here are few photos:
Support will be provided for the following vehicles::
99-03 Trucks (needs bolt in ring kit P/N 27000 Ring Kit, or 04-07 Classic tank swap)
04-06 Trucks Direct Drop In
07-13 Trucks Direct Drop In
14-18 Trucks Direct Drop In
There will be two options for buyers:
1) Bare bucket assembly is $450 (includes the labor to install user supplied pumps of their choice)
2) Bucket assembly with dual 450's installed is $850 (requires the use of your old fuel level sender)
*If a 99-03 tank is used, the bolt in ring kit (PN 27000 is $237) is required which requires cutting and modification of the existing tank.
There is not currently a provision for the evap line in the hat (not enough space). so I plan on installing on the filler neck with an NPT fitting.
I should have the bucket by next week, and will share pictures and dimensions as well as the install.
I think this is going to be a great way to upgrade to twin pumps without having fuel starvation issues and/or installing bulkheads.
Sharing a few photos.

For the price, Im not that pleased with it. Plastic Y, worm gears, splices not staggered in the least, no photos on the fuel pickup/inlet and the connectors on the top still bug me. Personal opinion, but the amount of dirt and crap that collects on top of a tank is going to wreak havoc on that screw setup. But, just me. Rick obviously thinks its fine, just like his plastic Y, worm gears and directly adjacent splices
