My 68 K20 burb with SM465 is easy to shift, as far as truck transmissions go.
I am not having to put extra effort, nor do I feel like I am forcing the stick to get a gear.
The shift pattern is tight, and shifting is positive but this transmission has been overhauled.

In my 70 K10 PU with an SM465, the pattern is sloppy to me. Much different than my K20 465 that has been redone.

There are times when either transmission has trouble getting into gear, but I just slip the clutch a tad to clock the gears and it finds the gear.

Funny the Toyota Tacoma was mentioned above, since I have one of those too ('02 4x4) and it's 5spd transmission is very much like my 40 year old 465's. It can be a pain to get into reverse at times, but I am so use to manual transmissions it just seems normal to me.
