Default Fuel pump help

Purchasing fuel pumps for my ‘91 dual tank. Is there any difference between the two? Am I going to be buying two of the same pumps? Thanks in advance

That depends on what you mean by "pump". Some people actually mean the pump motor, which is the same for all '90-04 F-series/Bronco & many other Ford/L/M vehicles. But parts stores don't like selling them because they don't make as much as when they sell the FDM (the plastic reservoir & valves that contain the pump motor), which gets them less than if they sell the whole pump hanger assembly (the tank plate with brazed stainless tubes & FDM). So parts stores & many vehicle owners might refer to all of that as "the pump". Click this & read the caption.

But the real question is: WHY are you changing them? It's unlikely that they'd fail simultaneously. Has one been dead for a long time, and the other just died? Have you actually diagnosed the symptom down to the fuel pumps? There are MANY common problems that are misdiagnosed as failed fuel pumps, so the more you describe your reasons, symptoms, & diagnosis, the less-likely you'll waste time, money, & effort. You should also put ALL the truck's details into your signature as this caption explains:
