Question for Truck owners with rear mount gas tank

I have a rear mount tank ready to install in my bone stock 72 C10 350/350 long bed. Is the stock fuel pump strong enough to suck the gas all the way from the rear tank as opposed to almost having a gravity feed from the stock in cab tank. The truck has 87,000 miles on it and could very well have the original fuel pump on it. I was planning to replace the fuel pump anyway and would get a stronger one if needed.
