Re: 5 speed tranny???
You could use a T-5 from a Camaro if you want to go to bucket seats. You could also replace the tailshaft housing from that same trans, with an S-10 tailshaft and keep your bench seat. In the former, you basically enlarge the mounting holes to 1/2", get a clutch kit for the same year Camaro, shorten your tailshaft and go. Obviously, the S-10 conversion is a little more work.

You can use that or an NV series, or just about anything else you want. Novatech and Advance Adapters both offer bellhousings to do the swap and keep the mechanical clutch, or you can use the originals and modify the truck for a hydraulic clutch.
