I found the same floor jack adapter you suggested at a place here in Denver called Tool King. However, that thing sits so high I don't know how you could possibly use it to slide a tranny under the truck. At its lowest height, it put the top of the bellhousing on the 5sp at 28" My stock truck sits with the frame rails at 18" That means I have to lift the truck at least 10" which is quite a bit and will make for an uncomfortable work height.

No worries though, I spent the evening welding up my own floor jack adapter out of scrap steel I had in the garage and now the top of the bellhousing sits at 23" - 5" lower and I save 50 bucks - Bonus.
