they do the same thing, just the truck balancer sticks out approx. 5/8" further foward than the LS1 balancer. if you want to use truck accessories, definaltely use the truck balancer otherwise the belt will not lign up if you use the LS1 balancer

You should check out www.ls1truck.com, I am sure they would like to see what you have planned for your truck and some picks of the install.

you will have to mod the truck alternator bracket by welding or bolting a plate in place so you can move the idler pulley over and down approx. 4"...if you do not the throttle body will not clear the idler pulley

That's only if you use the LS6 intake. I assume you reused the truck intake.
