Which transmission to use? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I recently bought my first truck project, a '60 GMC. I will be taking the 235 3 speed out and putting in a 292 but am not sure what trans to put in. I am thinking maybe a car 4 speed but not sure. Is a chev bellhousing a chev bellhousing? Or do i need to match one with the trans? The truck will more or less be used as a daily driver with minimal pulling and hopefully a bit of highway use. Not sure if it matters but I will be changing it to 5 bolt from a 80 chev truck with I think 3.08 gears.
Hopefully I have given enough info here, I am pretty green at this and have a lot to learn.
Thanks
