Your truck is a '93, so you have a 518. Yes a 47rh will fit, and yes it is a lock up transmission.

Great, hopefully I can find one ready and I won't have the expense of aftermarket parts, now that I am in need of turbo also. Thank You all for the info.

Have you tried a decent torque converter yet? A good converter is a world apart from the OEM pile...

Your going to have a considerable amount of money in the 47RH conversion. It is not a plug and play swap either, I would check the stickies and do some homework.

IT's not ?!?!?

Mine was - I plugged in $$$$ and then played with the result

Seriously tho the trans rebuild will set you back 1500 - 2200 depending on how far you go.
The install requires a 94-95 engine adapter and starter. You will have to move the rear trans mount toward the rear ~ 1". My driveshaft had enough spline showing that it was all taken up after the install, could be due to the split driveshaft; I've heard some have had to shorten the driveshaft.

i don't know anything about the NTC 350 but changing the adapter plate is just a matter of unbolting the old and putting the new back on. It can only go on in one position.

I see, on a big Cummins I have to use a dial indicator mounted on the crank and touching the housing to zero it in just thought I'd ask Thank You.

I don't know if the big cummins flywheel housings are doweled, the 3bt, 4bt,6bt series motors are doweled in 2 of the mounting bolt holes. Since the auto trannies have an integral bell you have to have a bare case and sweep the pump bore to check the register. The chryco gasser motors had a solid dowel and offset ones were available if needed, the lakewood bells were notorious for being off on the register, the b series cummins have a hollow dowel so the mounting bolt can go through it, don't know if there are offset hollow dowels.
