Questions about replacing gas tank. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1987 V2500 GMC. The driver side tank needs to be replaced. As I am shopping around (online) I noticed they offer one tank and do not say what side of the truck it is supposed to be on. Are these tanks sold universal? Has anybody ran into this issue before? Thank you.

the sender hole is in the center of the tank top.
