got me a GTO T56
I just picked up an 04 t56 with 23,000 miles on it for my upcoming swap...found it on craigslist in mass...the car was wrecked and broke the top shifter mounting plate and the hydraulic fitting for the clutch...but i was going to use a short throw shifter anyways and for $1500 i didnt think it was too bad...now i gotta hunt for the rest of the parts!

yes...it has lower 1st and 2nd gears so that should help with the extra weight of the truck...

Actually all 6 gears are lower. It's a much better suited trans for a 4000 lb car and or truck. You'll need to change the shifter cup as well. If you use the GTO bellhousing you need a gto started (it's smaller). You can reuse your master cyl, cross member and all wiring. Only thing you should need new are the trans, slave cyl, clutch, pressure plate, starter, shifter, shifter cup, front driveshaft yoke.
