You yankin my chain? Conversion costs? I have the whole parts truck with a proven working fuel pump and I probably whatever fuel line I might need sitting in my basement. Should cost me zero dollars. Well, technically it's part of the $450 I paid for the whole truck.

IMO this is a big drawback to hotrodding these trucks. To the best of my knowledge, no one makes makes shorty headers with the bigger end..... All for 94 and up and that is the smaller end. I was looking at ebay stainless headers and was wondering if you could cut the flange off and then slip a 2.5 in pipe on..... This would require a custom made headpipe or even better, true duals made with 2.5 in pipe and mufflers.
What would have really been nice is long tube headers, but with 4wd, that is just a pipe dream.

BTW dont forget that you will need a 5.2 flywheel if you are keeping the factory fuel injection.
