Look at the grey banner across the top of the page and move your cursor on to Articles/Specs and click on List Articles then click on Axles and you will find a good writeup on doing the D60 swap to your truck.
As for the starting problem you probavbly have bad glow plugs or glow plug relay.
Also there is a great page here for the power stroke diesels. If you look on down the main forum page you will come to the diesel section.with the page for your engine.
Good luck.
