got some new valve cover gaskets since mine were seeping after the paint
and since I had to buy new grommets too, I jyst went ahead and got some new stainless bolts.
New locking transmission dipstick
And a fresh set of iridium plugs
Not really related to the swap but I wanted to raise the rear of my truck a bit so I got some 1 or 2 inch drop shackles. its currently sitting on two leafs and the PO had also extended the rear shackles by cutting and welding 3" of steel into them. axle bottoms out on the frame so this was my cheapest way to be able to gain an inch or two of suspension travel in the rear.
