While this sounds like a synchro problem it could very well be old fluid and or a dragging clutch exaggerating a slight synchro problem.

I would look into fresh fluid if you haven't done it in the recommended service interval or didn't use a quality recommended fluid. I know GMs call for a specific penzoil sychroshift fluid from what I recall.
Also be sure your clutch is adjusted properly and not dragging at all.

If not then try double clutching it or rev matching it when you shift.
