If you like shifting, put a car 4 speed in it. That way you will have a better 1st gear. If you want a work truck to haul loads, keep the sm420. If you dont like shifting, put a 700r4 in it. Theres lots of ways to go about this. It depends how you drive the truck and what you use it for. I have a sm420 in my C20 and i dont mind it. I prefer to put a v8 and 5 speed tremec in it but thats for another day. I just want have fun and drive mine once in awhile.
