the camaro will have a corvette servo and the truck may not That I would check and if the truck does not swap it over, You will have to look though because I have see trucks with and without the corvette servo. I am not sure if they were swapped or came that way though.

It probably depends on the year I would guess.

I thought the gearing may be different. Would a converter from a ls1 car work on the truck 4l60e?

The unit that you are looking at might be a 4l65e. This might be why it is $400 more. If it has an ID tag with a Z in the 3rd digit then it is a 65. An example would be 4KZD. Hope this helps. Vince
