Within the Drivetrain Upgrades section there is a multi-page topic called "Isuzu Pup 5 Speed Swap?". Read it, most of your questions will be answered although this thread mostly applies to 2wd upgrades.
You will need a 5sp tranny from an '86 or '87 Trooper or 4x4 P'up with the 2.3L gas engine...
I was thinking the '88 Trooper and _maybe_ Pickup also had a 2.3 with 4x4. I got a yoke from a 2.3 Trooper, and I thought it was an '88, but maybe it was an '87.

use the rear slip yoke from the new tranny & have both driveshafts fitted to length, cut new holes through the tunnel sheet metal for the shifters, other stuff like any swap involves.
I think the 4x4 LUV should already have the right yoke, but regardless, I think the driveshaft will have to be shortened. Those yokes are REALLY hard to find, so if you find that 2.3 4x4, get the yoke even if you don't need it. Someone else will need it for the 5-speed 2wd upgrade.
