For a pickup with notoriously poor traction and a rig that will spend most of it's time on the street, the OEM version should do just fine, an entire assembly, clutch, bellhousing, and transmission out of a Camaro or Firebird would be more then adequate. Seen used units on Racing Junk and eBay lately priced in the $2,000.00 to $2800.00 range!!!! Anything else you might need for the application would be available from Mike Forte, Keislers, or a few other sources... Rather then just buying from a vendor who sells parts I'd highly recommend going through a shop like Mike's who has the experience installing the 5 and 6 speeds!!! It would probably save you some $$$$$ and a lot of aggravation!
