LOL!!! I knew that was gonna happen. I haven't seen a lot of gen III/IVs in the 88-98 trucks here, I would try http://forum.ls1truck.com they have a lot more over there.

Thumbs up LS1 Into Your '95 Truck...

There is a lot over there, but there is even more info over here. I could not have done mine without this site. Everything you need is here, if you search. The first thing you need is another vehicle to get around in, which I see, you have. Then buy EVERYTHING you can think of(write it down), after your research, & go buy it. Don't throw anything away that you take OUT of your truck, until the swap is totally complete. If you have a SPECIFIC question you need answered after you get started, ask away... Thats whats this site is all about.

Default BirdMan is correct...

There ARE alot of parts & pieces to see this project through. But the first time you drive it around the block, you'll appreciate all your efforts.

Default Throttle Body Choice

Personally, I prefered the cable version on my '96. My exsisting throttle cable was the perfect length & it snapped right into the LS1 throttlebody. Done. Your '95 may or may not have the same end on the cable, I don't know. Just another one of those hundreds of little things that need your reasearch. Worst case scenario, you have to buy a new throttle cable, which isn't expensive.
