If the trucks are 4X4's you will have more trouble than you bargained for. The front driveshafts are on opposite sides.

There is a guy on the TDR who put a VE pumped 12v in his 97-ish V10 truck. With the right adaptors, it will work just fine. He did have some issues getting stock dash gauges to work right (hey we have the same problem, and they are DESIGNED to work with the senders). Make your conversion money back in fuel savings alone within 2 years.

Then it sounds like it will be fairly easy, especially with no intercooler to deal with.
