Depends on what you want. Short throw shifter doesn't even exist for the SM-465 your truck has. If it's an offroad rig, you probably like that really low 1st gear. If you don't like to shift, get an auto. That SM-465 will take just about any abuse you give it.

X2^^ on above.
If you want an Auto, a 87-92/93 TH700R4 is a good choice. Has a low 3.06 1st gear for take off + .70 OD/4th gear for MPG. Trans-------1st Gear---2nd Gear----3rd Gear------4th Gear TH700R4-----3.06-------1.62--------1.00----------0.70 4L80E--------2.43-------1.49--------1.00----------0.75
