    Unfourtuatly you are making a bigger project out of this than it really is.
    These pickups came with V-8's and auto transmissions. You can get everything that you need from an after market vendor (such as LMC).
    Also you should be able to find everything that you need in a wrecking yard somewhere.

    There are also Chevy pickup forums that you can go to for advise on a particular item.

    Here are a few aftermarket pickup places.

    Edit:
    After reading my post, I might have sounded a little harsh. I did not mean to. If you have never done this type of swap before, it might be a bit overwhelming. I have done so many of these kind of swaps it is kind of second nature and sometimes I don't think about someone that might have never done one before.
