oldblue,

First, welcome to 4btswaps.

Second, someone will tell you to search... Let me give you a head start. There is a transmission section. The sticky at the top provides links to good info (so we don't re-answer common questions 2 or 3 times a week.

Scroll down until you see GM 4 SPEED:

Read all these threads.

My bread van has a Ford chassis, so I can not directly answer your question. If you do not already have a 4BT engine, your best bet might be to buy a complete bread van, on a Chevy/GMC chassis, with a SM465 trans.
