It looks like that has everything you need, incliuding the correct fuel sending unit. I think that set up is probably "plug and play" . Your current speedo cable will probably snap/screw right on.. there might even be an adapter to change a screw type end to a snap on end in the kit.
I the speedo cable in your trruck is wrong for that speedo head, you should be able to ge any speedo cable out of a later model gm car and just use that.

If you buy that set of gauges you will also need one of these--

The speedo is electric, not cable driven.
