If you are talking about an SM420 4speed you gain nothing by
replacing the 3speed with it. The 1st. gear is almost unsuable
it's so low, which means you'll be driving it in 2nd, 3rd and
4th all the time. I'm sure you are aware that high gear in both
is 1:1.
The four speed will add 70 pounds to the truck and the stick
will be in the crotch of anyone sitting in the middle.

If your 3speed is broke, they're a simple transmision to repair
and with a little searching 'round parts are fairly easy to find.
