If it's an 89, it'll have the 727 3spd no OD tranny, but that isnt a real important point if you're into rowing your own gears.
Personally, I'd go with the stock Getrag. Put new bearings in it, and overfill it by 1-1.5qts. I think the Getrag is a better tranny, ALL the parts will be from a 1stGen- no swapping or substituting of parts from Gen 1 and 2.
If you go that route, try to find a donor truck. I know some guys who have done the swap, and some bought a donor, others had to hunt for little parts they didnt even know they'd need.
