Looking at both on Carter's site, the one ending in '7' has a minimum (guaranteed) pressure of 58psi. The other one is slightly higher, at 62psi. Both are rated at 29gph.

The only physical difference I can see (via my phone) is the color of the sealing o-ring - one is black, th other green.

Given that your truck is an '05, I'd prolly go with the second one, if I didn't already have one in hand. But I think you'd be OK with the first one, if you already have it.
BTW - There's a better sealing ring available, if you're interested (it's larger, and more of a lip seal vs an o-ring). You can get them at your local parts store).

P76218M is for the EXT only. There is a difference between the two. So the correct one is P76217M for the SWB.

Yes - now that I can see both on my laptop (and on Amazon & Rock's sites instead of Carter's)...

There are some substantial (!) differences between the SWB and LWB pumps. I won't detail all of them, but even the float / level sensor is different.

The LWB (which the OP actually has, per post #1) version is also $110 USD more expensive on Amazon -- and at $220, I'd bite the bullet & make the spend for a better brand, like AC Delco, Bosch (who made the OEMs for GM), or even Denso (who has a very good rep for quality; they supply several Asian OEMs). I'd also look at Rock's pricing, vs. Amazon's, as well as their selection (Amazon has several brands, but most are just variations of CCC ('cheap chinese crap')
