Has anyone done this conversion ??? Started doing the rust repairs on my new toy today .Looking under the truck I started thinking / day dreaming ?? .The cost of rebuilding the stock 4 speed ,could go towards a Toploader .Maybe even a 5 speed ??? Is the truck and car bellhousing the same depth ???

Mummert sells t5 adapters for both cars and trucks.  I used one in my Victoria and am very pleased with the conversion.

You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.

Lon, there are two different truck bellhousings. The three speed trans equiped trucks use a housing with the same bolt pattern and input shaft flange size as the pass cars. The four speed trans has a larger flange area and the bolt patter to match. The top loader should bolt to the three speed housing, but unless you already have a transmission, you could most likely get the T5 and adapter for less than a toploader  will cost.
