Shifting--sorry to tell you, but as a mechanic who has rebuilt MANY 4L60E transmissions, I can promise you that your transmission is dead and needs to be completely rebuilt. Tell the builder that as a minimum over a stock rebuild you want: A hardened input shaft, The Beast sun shell, all Alto Red Eagle frictions and full-thickness Kolene steels, a new reverse drum and an extra-wide Carbon Fiber power band, the Sonnax "Super Hold" 1-2 and 3-4 servos, the Sonnax Heavy Duty 2-3 Shift Valve, the Sonnax .490" Boost Valve, and the Transgo valve body seperator plate. This will cost about 600 bucks more than a stock build, but the new transmission will be bullet-proof and will last until you get rid of the truck.
You can replace the dash lights yourself; the cover snaps off the fron of the dash, there are a few 9/32nds bolts that hold the instrument panel onto the dash, and the bulbs replace from the rear.
The rust, well, you can use metal polish and a fine cotton scrap and polish it off--but it will come back; for chrome to rust, there is a defect in the dip, or a non-stainless metal in continuous contact with it.

really all you have to do is to take the car to autozone and have the fault codes read for free. This will tell you what sensors are faulty. Take the car to an accredited service centre that specialises in your car and have the problem sensorsfixed.

Rpm jumping

Is your service engine light on? Most common cause is a vacuum leak. but will usually trigger the engine light to come on.

When I engage the cruise control is holds speed but rmp surges periodically around 2-300 rpm.

It could be your transmission trying to find the right gear it will jump around on diffrent road surfaces and going up hills/down hills. It is usaully noticable on cruise because it is at a constant speed and your thinking why would it need to shift. Sometimes it doesnt even really shift the gear its so inbetween it just jumps back really fast.
