That would be a job to say the least. I know some guys have done it but it not a backyard type thing to do. New front axle, transfer case, Adapters for your tranny to mate up with it, cuttin the hole to install the selector, clutch assembly both pedal and clutch itself, new driveline parts, vacuum lines ran and probably a 100 other small odds and ends.

Probably be easier to rebuild the junk truck usin parts off your truck where you could.

You can run the Comp and Stg3's with a stock turbo but if you do much towing its going to get hot in a hurry.

You need to add a new exhaust and air intake for pullin to help control EGT's. I also put a Bigmouth Downpipe between the exhaust and the turbo and it did make a nice difference on cool down times. With it my temps come down on the spot to normal once i let off the pedal. No waiting needed.
