5 Speed Manual Trans, what should I be looking for?

For my 66 C10 SWB, with 283, and 3 speed manual, I would like to find a 5 speed manual trans.

Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance?

It is a great plan I have a S-10 t-5 and a Camaro T-5 that I plan on putting in my 70 swb and to add cream on top I have a tilt column that I have "shaved" down to look like a factory floor shift tilt column.

Would like to see how that looks, what is the steering column from?

The column is a "van tilt" from a 79 chevy van. [they are the same up until they put the key on the column] I welded up the holes for the shift indicator and grond down the shifter bump and filled it in

That will look like it grew there! Nice work
