Battery cable

I need to replace the battery cable on my '03 and need some help. I've looked up the part for hours (it seems like it) and am stumped as to which one is the correct part. Need some help!

2003 F250 7.3, standing at the front of the truck looking at the engine, it would be the battery on the left, but it appears that the cables are all one piece. Is that right? If there's more than one, I should replace all of them. What do you think?

If I recall correctly the ground cables are separate with each battery and the positive cable connects the two with added cabling to power specific AUX functions. IE: glow plugs, starter, main fuse blocks etc. There are most likely fuse-able links in some of the feeds to AUX functions.

In situations like this Google is your friend. I googled 2003 7.3L replacement battery cables, a lot of options and prices popped up.
