Just a thought, but the Silverado SS or Escalade engine covers work well with the truck intake, if you are going to keep truck accessories. This might not work in the '50, but just general info. As far as the towing, I think I would try to get the 4L60E that comes with the 5.3 for ease of use with the ECM you will be using. If it works in a current 1/2 ton truck, it should work in yours, too.
