hd 5 speed swap. need some advice

ok i have a 1972 GMC C25 w/ 292 SM 465 and a 5.13 equipped dana 60, i was thinking a t5 but it would be woefully in adequate. i am thinking of swapping a NP540go into my truck and/or maybe a spicer aux. trans(5831 series). i used the search feature for about 3hrs but didn't find much so felt safe posting my question.
i found this website of a guys who done it.(the 540)
http://www.bethsbackyard.com/NP540GL...escription.htm
does it explain everything right? seems he just bolted it in no prob what other bellhousing will work? i was thinking of looking for a c40 up series 292 bellhousing like in the older trucks 60-66era. would that require a big truck clutch or my stock 11in.
also what other types and models of trucks came with the spicer aux. trans? im looking for others that have done this and also any tips or ideas you all have. and maybe some threads about this that i've missed?
thanks everyone.
