The transmission your looking for is the E40d. But this transmission is an electronic shift transmission. Meaning that it operates off a computer that is factory wired into the truck. You would probably need a donor diesel truck to have all the necessary components.
A much much simpler solution would be to put an overdrive unit behind your C6. Gear Vender makes one. There are others, but it would be a major undertaking to wire in a E40d.

There are aftermarket electronic trans controllers. http://www.becontrols.com/products/products.htm
The C-6 and gear vendor OD would make a much stronger/reliable solution, in my opinion.

Given the cost of overhauling an E4OD and the fact the overdrive unit like Gear Vendors would give you 6 gears forward, I think I would have to go the Gear vendors route myself.
Rebuilding an E4OD and the cost of the Gear Vendors should be about even in the end.

I drove my buddies 93' F250 4X4 7.3 IDI Turbo. Had a nice Gear Vendors setup hooked to a E4OD automatic but it doesn't ride like my good ol' 91' F250...
