There are less expensive options for manual shift overdrive. T-5, A-833, etc. Depends on how little you want to spend.

There was a good article in one of the recent Custom Classic Truck or Classic Truck on this swap for a task force truck. It was a pretty straight forward swap.

The quote I just got in was $2200, including a new 4500, conversion kit (bell housing, fork, ball), Clutch linkage bracket, and shifter handle. While that's a good price for a "new" 5 spd, it may be beyond my budget.
I just don't want buy something from a junkyard and slap it in. The old girl has been running for 35+ years. She deserves a good tranny. Thanks for the advice, guys.
