That is a loaded question. what do you intend to do with the truck, drag race, tow a trailer, rock climb? The rpm range you need the power in will have a lot to do with what cam you run. Plan on new valve springs,too, if you go with more lift.
Do you read any other foruns on trucks or GEN III engines? I can give you some leads if you don't.
check this post for some resources.

I would look into buying a kit that includes complete heads, intake and cam. I believe Holley, Elderbrock and Trick Flow should make them, probably along with other companies.
