If I read what I found right, the first 5 speed in a F150 was in 1988 and was a Mazda built M5OD. I have read that lots of people put in the T5 trans but really I do not know much about this subject.

from the bit of experience that i have, it will be easier to find a tranny and xfer case combo instead of reusing urs, there are adapter plates to get a tranny attached to most xfer cases but i bet it would be simpler to pull what you want all in one piece from a wrecking yard

Why are you wanting to change to a 5-spd? Do you have a true 4-spd or the "farmer 4"?
