T5 would be ok, but you need an adaptor, and a tailshaft housing from a Chev S10 model to put your shifter up where it belongs.

Mazda M5OD would work, has a little lower first gear. You have to convert to a hydraulic clutch though.

These folks sell the adapter etc:

If your only using this truck as an intown driver, why would you want to swap out the transmission?

The rug will do fine for light driving like your doing.
