Default Timing chain kit, and procedure

Getting ready to pull the trigger on doing the timing chains and guide. I thought there was a complete kit somewhere that included a water pump. But I can't find it now.

Can you guys recomend a certain kit.

Is there a guide anywhere on what all to do and what parts are needed. Thanks.

Any of the all-in-one kits are junk. What I always use, without any regard for price is the Cloyes chain kit and Fel-Pro gaskets. We need to know if you have a Windsor or Romeo though, and also what month and year the truck was built.

Cloyes only specifies Windsor on the kit with the sprockets. All of the other are Romeo....
