I don't think any one makes one that goes from high pressure to low pressure.

I don't know what year your truck is but some of the older ones ran two pumps, I know mine did, the one in the tank was more of a pickup pump and the one on the frame was the pressure pump. I left the one in my tank and still use it as a pickup pump and then changed the pump on the frame to a high volume low pressure pump.
When I first did my swap all I did was unhook the power wire to the pump in the tank and installed a low pressure pump on the frame so that I wouldn't loose my sending unit.. but that was before I knew the pump in the tank was a low pressure pump. But now I use both since I added the supercharger so it could keep up with the demand.. Mine is a carb setup..
