If you don't have any fabrication skills, the single side-saddle tank will definitely be the cheapest. Since that tank was homebuilt, there's no guarantee that a factory suburban tank will match up with the filler neck.

Again, you'd want to buy a 20-gallon tank and sender for a '82-'83 diesel pickup. Your existing filler neck should work on the new tank, unless it's a choked down size for unleaded gas. If it is, you'll need to find the larger filler neck, in order to fit a diesel nozzle into the opening. Buy the tank and sender from RockAuto or somewhere similar. If you need a filler neck, Ebay or LMCtruck are good options.
