4spd to 5spd
If it shakes in 3rd gear you might want to fix the engine before you do the tranny swap...
If you can find a 87 and up f150 with the 5 speed still intact at a jyard then it will be an easy swap. The increase in mileage is nice but inconsequential if the engine isn't working as it should. A dead cylinder could make it too weak to use the overdrive...

In my experiance OD is worth about 2 Mpg. The lower the rear axle ratio numerically the better the numbers. We put a 20% OD on a Chevy 6 PU that had 4.11s and it increased mileage from 13 to 17 and made it usable for highway speeds.
