@C10Squared's list and commentary on LS Swapping a Squarebody C10 (cleaned up for YouTube description format and WG's advice incorporated). WG's Amazon Affiliate Links will be provided where applicable (parts purchased via these links supports WG)

Keep in mind this is for Squarebody trucks. Primary differences for other year C10s will be fuel tank setup and engine mounts. For example, Dirty Dingo mounts seem to be preferred for 6772, however Tejas are preferred for 7387 c10s. This is my (c10 squared) recipe and there are many ways to do this; this is just how I do it.

Engine mount plates Tejas Steelworks $100
Chevy 350 engine mounts $40
Gaskets for headers above Summit NAL92202326 $25/pr
Radiator new factory radiator $120
Lower radiator hose Napa PN 7499 $30
Upper radiator hose for a 20002006 suburban $40
1999 Ford Windstar fans from RockAuto $90
Tanks Inc Fuel Injection tank for 19731987 $225 + shipping
Tanks Inc sending unit for stock gas gauge $35
Tanks inc GPA4 fuel pump kit (walbro 255lph pump) $225
(the above is for trucks, if suburban has rear mount tank, would just
buy a new one of those and then install a 1987 Suburban sending unit and a walbro 255LPH pump and use 5/16 and 3/8 to 6AN compression fittings; you can also save some $ and use your factory truck tank with a 1987 sending unit/walbro combo with compression fittings)
Tanks Inc LS swap fuel line kit with fittings & regulator $235 (fuel regulator info above)
Engine harness:
I use BP Automotive for the harnesses and use the premium service which includes fuel pump relay $550 (Ron used PSI on Facebook and WG used PSI on Teddy as well)
Fan harness with relays $80
Tuning (I have BP tune the ecm or buy a tuned one from them $75
Drive shaft shortened if needed $200
o2 Sensors if needed $100 https://amzn.to/2L1kwzp (for PSI harness; check for BP)
Lokar shift linkage for 4l60e $65 https://amzn.to/2Xr5WaW
Lokar transmission dip stick $100 https://amzn.to/31I2g48 (black)
Lokar oil dip stick $100 https://amzn.to/31G0Xm7
you can probably use the factory LS dipsticks, but I always use the lokar...they look nice.
depending on year of engine, may need the following
single rail fuel rail from 2006+ engine $100 used or buy new billet
Truck gas pedal for the DBW (needed for 20032007 engine)
we have also had good luck just buying a billet block off cap for the return on the fuel rail to save some $ $75
Custom Exhaust $400500

Suggested:
intake gasket set $60
valve cover gasket set $30
oil pan gasket $30
New power and ground wires to battery $40
You'll also have to figure out some type of cold air intake, i have seen people use the stock truck ones too. I paid like $65 for the chrome one for a silverado on amazon.
GAUGES:
Depends on what you want to run. You can do custom gauges from Dakota Digital, auto meter, etc, or you can set up stock gauges to work with a convertor from cableX etc.
