Welcome to FTE.

This is a fairly common question.

Read through this thread for answers, see what you think:

Does your truck have a hydraulic clutch already?

Which 4 speed do you have--a granny first or an OD 4th?

Sure. I would assume the Mazda 5 speed is a fairly simply swap.

Is your TC married? You will need a 4x4 model trans and possibly the adapter for the TC. Not sure on that. Do you know what model TC you have?

Your transfer case should have a tag and label on the side of it up under the truck showing make and model. It could be a Borg-Warner or a New Process.

If your transfer case is married, then it bolts directly to the trans. If it's divorced, it'll have a knuckle between the output shaft of the transmission and the input on the transfer case. The knuckles are universal joints and act like a small driveshaft. Married or divorced makes a difference regarding transmission swaps, as well as what transfer case you have.
