If memory serves? It's possible to do it in the truck. (I've got the 89 2wd also...I've been considering replacement of the oil pump and screen for a while).

Normally undo the motor mounts, remove the disty..(it could nail the firewall), jack the engine up. Drop the pan enough to unbolt the pump inlet screen. Once done the pan should remove--and then the pump. Reverse to install.

This is going off memory only!! Shop manual will be your best friend for this one.
