Shouldn't be that hard. Depends what you call hard, though. I'd guess it might be 100 to 200 hours of work if you haven't done it before.

My biggest issue would be the gauges and wiring I can build the mounts pretty easily would I be better off going stand alone harness or just using the stock harness? My dad has been a mechanic for the last 35 years and has done the wiring harnesses on a couple swaps helping friends before so he will be helping me

On the transfercase how would I wire that in if it's electric not manual or do they make a manual transfercase I could pick up?

Swapping the transfer case out to an NP241 manual would be your best option. Personally I would look into a 3/4 ton drivetrain setup rather then dropping in a 1/2 ton setup into that big truck.
