Smile P100 Sierra gearbox swap?

Can anyone help? I've just bought a '92 Sierra P100 pick-up with the 1.8 TD motor. It's a really tidy truck with only 55,000 and never carried a brick. I really like it but it's so low geared - revving quite hard even at 60 mph. I don't pull any weight with it and so don't need the low gears and am thinking about swapping to a Sierra car gearbox. I know the back end is basically a Transit set-up, with a live axle and cart springs, but can I fit a car gearbox without too much hassle, and if so, what box do I need from what car and does anybody have one for sale?
thanks

ps: also looking for some genuine Ford Sierra rubber floor mats and some tidy cloth door cards if anyone has them for sale?
