It is often easier to move the bed back or tilt it back and leave the gas tank in place.
There are 6 bolts in the bed, t55 torx I think, they can be very stubborn to remove, but once you break them loose they usually come out OK.
Then remove the 3 bolts holding filler pipe to the side of the bed
This is the tilt bed method, you loosen but don't remove rear bed bolts:

This is the slide it back method:

You need to check and probably disconnect taillight wires, there is a connector at the rear.
But this can be done alone, the bed is not that heavy so you can slide it back a little on one side then move to the other side and slide it, repeat as needed.
When timing belt gets older it stretches, the tensioner can only move so far and then it can't keep belt as tight, this throws off valve timing a bit but what can also happen is the the belt skips a tooth on the cam gear, valve timing is now really off and compression drops because of this and engine lacks power after that.
If it happened suddenly then that could be what happened.
But if it has been a slow steady loss of power then it wouldn't be this
