you can use just about any tranny from a 4wd but if you use a diff tranny with diff lengths you will need to relocate your shifter holes, drivelines and crossmember mounts....  if you want a tranny with the same length i think the l 43 4 speed and the l50 5 speed will work but why step down... the l52 is the best out of all of them... oh wait i forgot the L52 HD is the best but its $$$$$$$  but $$ well spent....
ah the beauty of a cuttin torch

All '79 to '83 trans are 21.5" and the '83 L52 is the best of the early trans. [Jared was right again.]

'84 and newer trans are 25" long.


The L52H/D trans that I build would be your best bet.  :driving:
