well to change to and auto there are 3 choices. 1 is a C-6 but is only a 3speed so no Overdrive but strong. 2. AOD which has an overdrive and when built right can handle a lot of abuse. 3.E4OD which has overdrive and was available in your yr truck problem would be you must get a new computer because this tranny is electroncily controlled.
either one you will need to get a new steering column unless you plan and using a floor shifter. just not sure that can be done with the E4OD or not.
best thing to do would be to figure out which one you want and find a rig with that setup and start taking parts

for sure your best bet is to find a doner rig...those small brackets/ bots will nickle and dime you to death. plus with the e4od you may as well get her rebuilt before you put it in cause it wont be long

best bet is to find someone with an auto that wants to switch to manual.
if i were close to you (vancouver canada here), and my wife would learn to drive a manual, i would definitely offer a swap . . . . . . . . .

I am trying to do the exact opposite swap on my 94 Bronco with a 302. I want to change my auto to a 5 speed manual.
My E4OD needs a rebuild, but I am sure we work something out.
I am in Montana, where are you ?
