Just did the same thing to my '95 but didn't add any performance goodies like you did. Pretty much the same truck except mine isn't an extended cab. Same 3.9, paint and wheels too!
I guess you got off lucky though. Both my heads were cracked and had to spring for new castings. Way too much money! Here it is buttoned back up.......................

 

evintho, i spent about 2,000 well worth it, i was going to buy a newer one, but would of still had to to do all the basics, fig since it was such a clean truck ,would spend the xtra money and do everything, even did the complete brake job,put 235-75x15 on too,, had a older toy picup, what a diff this truck is, very happy with the truck,

 

Cool! Good Job.
