If the trans is a 4l80e, you can't just load an F Body tune and have it work. You'd need to get a "segment swap" done to an F Body tune in order to control the 4l80. But, although I'm not familiar with the differences with truck ECU, I don't offhand see any particular reason why you'd be better off starting with an F Body tune than the stock truck tune ... both will need extensive tuning considering the modifications proposed.
