I bought one for the same reason also for $500 bucks. I pulled the 700r4 converted it to Th350, drove it for a year and sold it for $2500 I beleive it was.

This was my $500 K1500 with a less than 10,000 mile GMPP 350 engine, the guy put a new battery in it just so I could hear it run and I drove it with no 3 or 4 th gear. The kid had just put on a new Eddy Intake, Carb and headers then didn't know to hook up the TV cable to the transmission and fried 3/4 clutch pack.

If you decide to swap to the cheaper more durable Th350, it can be done with out having to change mount locations or modify driveshafts. Using that spacer it'll bolt in just like the 700r4.
Here's the link on how to do it.

**** !!! Nevermind, yours is a V20 so you should have a Th400. That'll be cheap to rebuild.

Just needs the things you would expect for a truck that's been sitting...brakes...brake lines...I got 2 new fuel tanks and pumps....and I tune up...I got it to fire up so the engine is not locked up...
