I've changed out the manual transmission gear oil on my 1988 B2200 several times in the 17 years I've owned it. I've just drained out the old gear oil, then used a small handpump that screws onto a container of gear oil, purchased at O'Reillys or AutoZone, and fill through the side hole until gear oil is at the fill plug level, pretty straightforward. That bottle top pump is only a few dollars.
Others here like to simply take off (or rip !!!) the several shifter boots and add using a funnel, guess they think that's easier. But some like to be chancy and play the game of trying not to get gear oil spilled in the truck interior. And those boots are not cheap either, dealer items mostly.
But with that little pump, you can also re-fill the rear differential gear oil after draining, at the same time.
