You will need the EaO64 as the longer version of the truck filter. This is the filter that I run on my Silverado and ran on the Trailblazer when we had it.
Keep in mind the you can purchase in cases of 12 (part # EaO64CS) to save about $1 a filter. Check them out: http://www.amsoil.com/StoreFront/eao.aspx?zo=1436102

The amsoil oil filters appear to be nice, but I can't really justify that they are worth 3 times the price of a wix filter. I did recently order one of the amsoil air filters to replace my old crappy paper one though.

The more I think about it though, I might just suck up the extra bucks and hook up with a few filters and possibly an Amsoil dry air filter as a replacement for my oiled Volant filter. There's a local parts place that has Amsoil and cuts me a break since I work at a dealership...I wonder if they can get the filters and possibly a price break also
FYI: The case of 12 filters would go from 171.00 down to 130.20 with the membership.
The local shop will not be able to beat the membership prices. Retail accounts use the same pricing and still need to pay the shipping. Plus you have to hope they order the right stuff.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

+1. The Trailblazer filter has more filter area to it, but is the same as the truck one in fit. This is the size I've been running since I purchased the truck, usually either NAPA Golds or ACDelcos.

My last oil change, I switched to Amsoil 5w-30 and used a Mobil1 M1-206 filter. I have 1 more Mobil1 filter for my next oil change, then I plan to switch to Amsoil oil filters as well. I also just switched my Volant oiled air filter to an Amsoil EAAU dry filter, which I purchased online from o2man98's link 
FWIW, my wife drives an 03 Toyota Matrix and my mother has a 99 Toyota Solara, which I have 2 Toyota oil filters "in stock" for. Once I use those filters up, I plan to switch them both over to Amsoil oil and filters and try the 1 year/25K oil change deal...I'm gonna pull the valve covers on both and take some before and after pics. It should be kinda cool, as my wife drives on the highway every day and puts alot of miles on her car, while my mother only drives a few miles a day to and from work, with an occassional trip down the highway. Both cars are 4 cyl's, but different engines...I'll probably do this in the Spring.
