D585 Truck coil swap ? I found a good set of truck coils for a very good price, my only kicker is what all do I need to swap them bad boys over? I did a search but IDK how accurate this is
The truck coil brackets are 10457736, 2 needed.
The LS2 wiring harnesses are 12601824, 2 needed.
The coils are 10457730 (AC D585), 8 needed.
If anyone has done this before please chime in with anything else to consider

You don't need anything if they are complete on the rails. You will have to bend your fuel line or make some small offset brackets.
Any reason you are considering this? Having personally tried them out, I do not recommend it.
I tested with some I got for free and ended up selling them for $140. They made zero difference of any sort (other than an initial mental thing similar to a freshly washed car or fresh oil change) and look goofy in comparison to the ls1 or square truck coils. That coupled with having to bend the line and get them mounted and it's a small pain in the butt for no good reason. If you just have to have them, I would consider a coil relocation at the same time.
Not sure what you consider a good price though, might be worth having just to keep extra coils around in case of emergency. Otherwise, put the money towards an underdrive pulley.

Believe me I want a UDP, however I think $200+ (plus the belt) for a new one is asking a little too much .. but a UDP is definitely on my wheelin' and dealin' to-do list

Keep an eye out, I had to have the corvette style which come around a lot less often and got it for $120. Bolt is $4 from GM and belt was $20. Noticeable gain that was track proven.
For $65 I would get them too. But I would either store them, or sell them for a profit on here. You could turn that $65 into $120-150 pretty easy. Mine sold in a couple days.
Unless forced induction is in your future they are not going to help you.
