i mlooking into buy a late 70s to early 80s k10 pickup when i get back from deployment. i really want a manual in it but most of the trucks i see that are in my price range and are what i want are autos. now i have no grudges against a well built auto. in fact i love them. but i have more fun with a stick and a strong 5 speed maual is cheaper than an auto and i want 5 speeds. so im just wondering if anyone has some advice on this matter. like how much it might cost and some of the major components i will need to replace. and how long it might take to do such a job. my knowledge of transmissions isnt all that great but i am a little familiar with them. thanks for any help.
