Always check the frame really good on new england vehicles!
That's fine if he has the skills to remove and reinstall the used one, I'll stick with the $1,000 cost in total...[]ORIGINAL: tigue710
you can get a tranny for that truck at any junk yard for 100-200 bucks...
Remove the transmission mount, (two bolts, one on either sida and drops down. Place a floor jack with a piece of 2x6 under the transmission and secure in place, with the tranny balance equally on jack, (note, do not jack up the transmission), Disconnect the U joint at the transfer case on the rear axle, and slide the axle shaft out of transmission. Disconnect the splash shield from bottom of transmission by removing the four bolts holding it in place. slide down and out. Disconnect shift linkage from transmission, disconnect the odometer cable. Now remove the five bolts attaching the transmission bell housing to the engine. With assistance if possible now slide the transmission down and back from the engine. Reverse for installation, buy new seals for transmission.ORIGINAL: epackage

Changing it for me isn't an issue, I don't know if the kid knows what he's doing...[]ORIGINAL: tigue710
I've done it in 3 hours in the rain in a dirt driveway... Its a little less complicated then setting up a Wii
You could go that way but you'll need all the linkage, drive shaft and probably a new steering column. I'd stick with your #7.[]ORIGINAL: tigue710

note, when replacing a transmission always replace it with the tork converter. If used from a junk yard get the tork converter with the transmission. The tork converter simply slides over the differential shaft and is attached to the flywheel on the engine with four bolts. Be sure to fill it with transmission fluid before installing.
inspect your main rear seal while your at it also.
