Accel makes a good cap and rotor, but anything with brass contacts should get the job done.

From my experience, I'd suggest the Taylor Extreme Service if they're available for your truck. I installed those along with a MSD Billet Dist. and Blaster coil on a chevy motor we built5 years ago. They're flawless and worth every penny. They handled 3 years and 90,000 miles of towing snowmobiles and quads between Ohio & Michigan. Just my 2 cents.
