Manual Trans Selections? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm interested in changing out my sm465 for a 4 or 5 speed and am wondering what kinda options do I have for changing trans with minimal fabrication. I expect to have to get the driveshaft shortened or lengthened but I'm more concerned with my current clutch linkages lining up right and about the shifter cause the sm465 appears to be shifted from the top (haven't gotten under the truck to confirm been raining lately).

So...what kinda options do I have? Anyone else do this kinda swap? Thanks for any info you guys can provide.
