If you haven't checked them out yet, try core-shifters.com. Hurst-style short-throw using some hurst parts, billet stuff done in-house, hurst shifters, etc.
For your ranger (m5r1) you're looking at closer to $329 + shipping, depending on what options (****/handle, body lift spacers required or no, etc).
I have no affiliation whatsoever, but I have bought two of them (one in a m5r1 and one in an m5r2).
These are truck transmissions so if you're looking for smooth, buttery, quick shifts, that's never gonna happen. BUT if you want a solid, notchy, quicker short-throw that improves the shifts significantly, I'd say it was easily one of the best mods I've ever made to the truck and driving experience. It won't make you faster, but the shifts will make you smile on the way there.
You should know, however, that it will likely be louder than the stock shifter setup, since ford uses rubber and that large boot setup to isolate noise in the oem shifter.
