Default auto to manual tranny swap?

alright so i was warned not 2 get an auto tranny in these things n well i learned the hard way. ive done some work to my truck shes got some power and im noticing when i lay into it the tranny is slipping. now ive always wanted a manual but i couldnt resist this this truck bc it was in such great shape. but the tranny cant handle the power it has now. so ive done pricing on a better auto tranny that can handle it and well there expensive as hell. im looking at about 6 grand for a decent one with only a two year waranty. but the problem is its still an auto and they will go up again. when a manual goes up ususally u can put a new clutch in and call it a day which is alot cheaper. so i want a manual period i dont like auto. so if yall could give me some hint on were i can go to find the parts i need. i dont have all the money to buy a new manual truck jus 2 pull the parts. and i havent been able 2 find 1 in a salvage yard yet. im hearin ill need a new transfer case bc they wont match up. and i know the drive shaft lengths have to be changed. if any one knows any place that sells the stuff like the clutch pedal and actuater and the columb and stuff let me know. also if you have any hints for me im all ears. thanks
