That truck wasn't built for 37's that's for sure. Turning those tires with stock gears will destroy a 4l60 pretty fast. Not to mention the strain on the rest of a 1/2 ton drivetrain.

If it has (4:10,4:56,or4:88) it should be good. I'd assume the trans has had a rebuild at some point in the last 250k. If it was built right, even better.
If it has stock gears It's got to be pretty gutless with those tires. I had a truck with 33's 3:42 gears behind a 5.7/nv4500 and it seemed gutless to me.
