    Won the lottery and wants to swap to a manual ?

    How bout a full manual valve body , high stall torque converter and a paddle shifter .
    all these products are available for the automatic .A solid shift kit and a paddle shifter will knock your head into the rear window on every upshift if you desire that type of performance .
    There is no possible way a manual transmission will be quicker and more precise .

    Yes, that is heavily modded. Maybe medium modded is more apt.:p

    No long bed/manual option:mad:

    Although those products may be available, I'd bet that it would be cheaper to just swap a manual for the auto. The manual is an option for the short bed, how hard could it be to stuff one in the long bed?:cool:

    The only thing I can imagine is a custom longer prop shaft, it's support, and consideration that the rear pumpkin will be at a different angle in relation to the drivetrain.

    Only approximating here but the shift kit is $200 bucks
    The high stall torque converter is $ 300 bucks
    and the paddle shifter kit runs about $400 bucks
    If you do the work yourself you will finish the complete job in a 12 hour shift .

    Swapping to a manual is going to be far more expensive and labor intensive even with a donor truck
