I've seen the same issues with finding an intact engine/trans combo with uncut wiring/fuel system. A buddy just bought a complete rolled 05 1500 with a 5.3. We're taking it apart now and intend to install the components into 72 C-10.

Suggest when you get your motor, get the trans also. That way you'll get the needed wiring, computer and sensors.

I driven through the Hill Country around Kerrville.......might want to reconsider the 5.3 and get a 6.0, especially when towing.
