Only skid plates I have ever found were for the axles, to protect the pumpkin. I'm thinking you'll need to build your own. You might also try lifting the truck enough so you won't be skidding on anything.

They'd be easy to fab yourself. It's not like they need to look all fancy bling or anything, just so long as they protect it. For your axle skid plate go here: http://www.jamesduff.com/eb/axles_misc.html
Then the other two will have to be built. You shouldn't have much to worry about with the transfer case as it should already be sitting up in the frame. I can see some concern for the radiator though.
