What would you do???

I am not happy. I found a 72 blazer with a near perfect body. I put in a new awesome motor, got it back and I can't drive the 4 speed. Before you call me a sissy, you need to know that I blew out my left knee in a motorcycle wreck and now (after 8 knee surgeries) I can't drive the clutch I drive my toyota 5 speed but it is a little different.

I have my 71 jimmy that is great with an automatic but it's body is not as nice as the blazer. I had planned on selling the Jimmy and keeping the blazer but now I don't know what to do. The blazer has the best, rust free body I have seen in a long time and now it has a new motor too, but I can't drive it with the clutch I don't know if I'm up for the labor involved with swapping the trannies between the two vehicles. I may just keep the gmc cuz at least I can drive it now while I fix up the body?? I have already spent a small fortune on these two trucks and I am trying not to go broke with them. I transmission shop said they would install a th 350 for $2500 but I am already in too deep with these "toys".

What would you do?
