Here's an idea that worked for me once - it'll take two people:
Pull the shifter out and the carpet back a bit so you can see through the floor. Get a piece of metal or wood (2x2-ish in size) and stick that over the top of the hole. Then get a nice strap (recovery strap, nice rope, chain, etc.) and wrap it around the bottom of the tranny and then around the piece of metal or wood that is over the shifter hole. That will hold it in place so you can get the bellhousing bolts out. Then get under the truck and hold it up with your hands, while the other person in the truck slowly lowers the tranny.
Hope that makes sense. It may be a bit of a bitch, but you can make it work this way. Can't say I'd recommend it over a floor or tranny jack, but it'd get the job done.

For your first time doing this it will take you a little while like they said. I can pull the tranny in 30 minutes then about 3 hours to fully pull it apart another 2 hours to put it back together and then another 30-40 minutes to bolt it back up. This is without power tools may I add. I have done it a million times. my first time rebuilding one took me a good 3 days to get it back up and running again. You have to pull the entire tranny apart. The only things I did on my last one was syncro rings and input shaft bearing. I think you might want to take the pan off the bottom and really inspect it before you do anything like I said before. For your first drive getting it you should probably take it easy and see what all every gear does it shouldnt hurt it.
