Can't tell you how specifically as I've never replaced those on a B2600. But, I would suggest getting a service/repair manual from your local library for step by step directions. Every library I've ever been in has them, I don't understand why more people don't take advantage of that fact (oops ranting).
Anyway, pitman arms are usually pretty easy to replace. Often you'll need a gear puller and a pickle fork (ball joint fork). It's mostly muscle work, not often brain work.
CV boot replacement varies a lot from vehicle to vehicle depending on how the halfshafts come out and the configuration fo the CV joints. If it was my 4x4 truck I would be strongly tempted to buy one of those boots that has a seam which allows you to install it without disassembling the halfshaft.
Kind of an odd pair of things needing repair. Did you run into something?
