Depending on the year and what engine was in it there are a lot of little things that can drive you nuts. First is that the cooling system will have to go, of coarse electric fans new hoses and most likey a custom built rad. Depending on year and motor,accessories may need new mounts. As far as the trans. goes no real worries it could mount right up or you have to drill new holes in cross member. big deal, these trucks love TH350's also. On most of the conversion jobs the rear end stays but once you get it on the road you will most likely want to change the gears or tires, and more than likely you will use the old drive shaft. Good luck and happy trucking.
