I have a guy that can get me the transmission, bell housing, pedals, pretty much everything I need to make my truck a 5-speed. A. will i need any floor mods? B. is $550 for it all worth it? P.S. i will try to talk price down a little ;)

You will need the floor section from a stick shift truck. The auto's in 2WD had a different floor pan than a stick. 4X4's had th same floor pans it didn't matter if they were stick or auto.

Look in the body sectioon for this site. PTombs is doing a cab swap. His donor cab was an auto truck. He swaped the floor pan from his old cab. He has pic's.

Depends on where you cut it. I think in my pics I show where to cut it. I tried to cut it large, then cut down to fit. I had to pull most of the dash, (which I was going to do later, not now) and pull the heater to access where I wanted to cut. If you cut (in the front) just below the pinch welded seam (on the hump you are using), it will fit good.
Look thru the pics in my cab swap thread, and if you have more questions, fire away.

Oh, I didn't answer the time question. :oops: It can be done in a weekend, if you don't screw off much. I think I had about 6 hours in all cutting the humps out and fitting my hump to the donor cab.
This isn't counting the dash and heater BS.
