Default Re: t-5 confused which one?

I've started my search for a transmission through the local salvage yards.
I'm asking for 90-92 S-10 2WD. So far just one guy has a unit. He's pulling the tag numbers for me tomorrow so I can see exactly what it is.
To be clear as long as the shell is correct I can make changes to the gearing inside right?
I also spoke to Van Pelts and I will at some point pull my top cover off my current three speed to see also exactly what I have now. I may have this information in my Mac Book but I can't find it anywhere and by chance my computer file on the trans rebuild was wiped out and lastly my digital camera is also misplaced and some of the rebuild photos might still be on that disc. Too much going on at one time.....
I mostly use the truck to go around town. There will definitely be times when I put some things in the back but it's not a daily hauler so the longer first gear is more attractive to me. Currently my first gear will push me to 10 or 12 miles an hour before I need to switch into second gear. I'l like a little more.
Stay tuned and thanks for all the help.....
