Trans swap info

I have searched for any info on swapping a mt into a dclb and haven't found any good info. Most people say to buy a different truck with a mt but as we know
That's not a option for a dclb. I need the bed and cab space of my current setup ac or dcsb isn't a option. So has anyone done a swap? I know the basics but was curious if any unforeseen surprises that came up? I'm a mechanic at a ford dealer and would do all work except programming my self. Any links would be appreciated. My automatic is on it's last leg or I wouldn't be considering this.

Is there any info on a second gen the info int the link above seems to be mostly 1st gen

 

Dude, just buy an auto. This is spinning into ridiculousness when you are seriously considering swaping the trans and half your interior just to have a stick with a long bed.
