You just said putting the 6spd in was the easy part... What happened to that? I can get the truck and tranny for around $3500. I'll have two trucks and three tannys. I take the left over parts and make a truck to sell. It seems easy the way I look at it, but a lot of people say about shortening driveshafts and getting a new input shaft on the t case for the 6spd. I've never done anything like this before, but aside from the time involved; it doesn't seem too bad.

I'm tired of having the automatic and I think the 6 speed would be really nice for pulling. Just ready for something new I guess.

You need to find a good deal on a truck that needs a ton of work but has a good tranny, or look for something like I am. One 4wd truck and a decent 6spd. If I do it first I'll make sure to take pics for you.

The 6spd is awesome for pulling. Some people say the NV5600 is better than the G56.
