First of all, welcome to the forum from SouthCentral Kansas.

With the right fab skills, you can adapt almost any steering column to these trucks, but the most popular seems to be the 73 - 87 Chevy/GMC truck columns. There are a ton of threads with information about this swap on the forum. Use the search function.

I am not familiar with a 256, but then I am not the most experienced builder around. The 230 and 250 I6 motors use the same perches as the 283, 305, 327 and 350. There may be other blocks that can use the same perches as well. These all will bolt up to the same bell housing as well as far as I can tell. Again, all of this is on the forums.

I have no idea about the degreasers/strippers and you already have the thread on the suspension/brake swap so I won't go there.

Again, welcome.
