T56 would be cool. I do not know much about them but i believe they were originally designed for the dodge viper? Haha.
You may run into lots of money doing this.

Seriously consider the NV4500.. its worth the research, and adapters are readily available for your application.

Otherwise as previously stated, you already have the 4 speed and it wont cost you anything to bolt it up.. It will last the life of the truck, assuming you don't grind every single gear you shift.

I wouldn't consider any of the truck 5 speeds an upgrade from the NP435 you currently have, unless you need an overdrive gear. If it was my truck and the intended use was a street cruiser, I would bolt up a 4 speed toploader and be done with it.
