No, Just pull the ones off of the pickup at the wrecking yard. Be sure to mark which side they came off of.

Or go to an aftermarket supplier like LMC and you can buy everything you need there.

The nice thing about doing a swap like yours is that Cbevy built that truck in both engine configurations. The frame is the same, just the mounts and stuff like that are different. As the guys suggest, head to a junkyard with camera in hand and pirate the parts off of a v8 version, and mark everything where it goes. The pictures will help you reinstall everything as GM intended.
