I was thinking about running some of the fbody stuff I have on this project truck I'll be working on soon, but wasn't sure what all is included in switching. Anyone with info would be very much appreciated.

What year model truck is it, some of the trucks only have one wire alt connectors while the fbody have up to four. I ran into this when I was going to do the swap.

If I do the swap I will use an F-body alt. and run the BMR relocation bracket.
