Another choice might be an early 3 speed with the solenoid OD (sorry but I can't remember the name).
Finding an S10 T5 that will allow you to keep the factory cable driven speedometer can be a challenge. If that is not an issue for you, then finding a T5 that fits will be a lot simpler. You just need to find the right gearing combination for your particular rear diff gear.
A Muncie pattern T5 can be made to bolt directly to your bell without an adapter plate, keep your same clutch package, shorten the drive shaft and cut a hole in the floor for the shifter. Here's a post of my T5 installation in my 1965 C10.
My signature link will take you to my BLOG with plenty of info on the T5.
