Just out of curiosity, why did you do all the mods to the auto truck, and not the 5spd? I'm assuming you got the 5spd after you had already done most of the mods to the '89?

I have had this 89 since early 1998. I got it from a neighbor that absolutly babied it. He always kept it undercover and never drove it in the salt. I put my truck up against any 5 speed with equal power and I bet I would be faster. ( if horse power was the same). One the street and strip autos are faster, but if you want dyno power 5 speed or full lock up converter is the way to go. I am at 297 hp at the wheels even through the stock converter. I got the 93 this last summer from a guy I used to work with. It was a dailey driver year round for him and was absolutly rusted . The cab colapsed on the frame when I took the front fenders off. I got it because I wanted a standard to play with and I know he took very good care of it ( besides from the rust ). I spent lots of time last summer getting it back to a usable truck. It should have been scrapped but I had time and no money so I welded it back together.
