Gas Tank Swap

So my dually has 2 dead fuel pumps again (OE 7.4l TBI fuel set-up). This also happened right after getting it on the road in 2016 when I had 2 fresh AC Delco pumps

The driver side pump died ~3wks ago. The pass side tank/pump has been out of commission for a while now (years) so it's holding ~20gals of swamp juice.

My plan is to purchase 2 fresh tanks + Delphi (or similar top tier OE style pumps) so that there's no additional time spent having to clean the insides of the tanks. Going to yank the bed to R&R the pump/sending unit assemblies & tank swap effort. Looking @ the Spectra or Dorman tanks (20gal w/baffle) Any input on one over the other?

Going to prob run the later model LS style fuel pumps based on suggestions/input found on here. Not my first tank swap rodeo but this is my first round doing the larger 20gal vs 16gal tanks & it's going to be a solo project so any watchouts anyone cares to share?

As always.... Thanks in advance for legit input/insight.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
