If my truck is fuel injected how do I go about changing it over so it is carborated and about how much approx. Will parts cost?

You probably don't want to hear this but you are far better off fixing the FI than going to a carb.

You would have to remove the intake manifold and replace with carb manifold, remove high pressure fuel pump and go to low pressure FP at around 5-6 psi vs 45-50 psi.

You would have no connections for MAP/MAF sensor, so check engine light would be on all the time.

Probably your best bet is to go to Summit racing or Jegs for a kit. Edelbrock makes conversion kits, I believe. Check with tech departments at Summit or Jegs for details.
