Buy a donor truck. And make sure it is as close as possible to your truck. Other than that it is a good 3-4 days of swapping parts. less if you have help.(provided you don't hit any snags, have to get driveshafts made, yadda yadda)

I just now realized that you were switching from an auto to a manual. That makes the swap a good bit simpler.
