Measure your stock tanks dinensions and compare them to the dimensiins of a later model fuel injected bbody(91-96). You might luck up, that would be a cheap alternative.

Some guys with the C10 trucks use Jeep Cherokee tanks with Chevy EFI senders/pump assemblies...seems to work on a budget

Or you can get fabbed units from Boyd's Welding..my brother has one in his C10, but they make everything
