auto to manual transmission swap

Hey hows it going? I found a really good deal on a 94 12 valve reg cab long bed 4x4 auto cummins. The only problem is that i dont like autos so I was wondering how hard it is to swap it from auto to manual or how pricey it is. If there is anybody out there that has done this and has any tips or any estimates on how much it will cost please share. Thanks in advance for all your help.

John

I am wanting to do just the opposite were are you located, I have info on how to do it and the easiest way is just having the trucks together and going from one to the other instead of trying to find all the parts individually.

I am located in warrensburg mo. its about an hour east of kansas city. My parents live near st. louis missouri and i travel alot back and forth so we could meet anywhere in between there. I havent bought the truck yet and am having trouble getting ahold of the guy on craigslist. Theres a very good chance though that once i get ahold of him im going to buy it. The engine has just been rebuilt not to long ago and its got a new auto tranny drive shaft transfer case and a few other things in it. A shop is selling it because the guy that brought it in cant afford the bill. The truck has 172k miles on it but they are offering it with a warranty on all the stuff that they had done so its pretty good deal. they are asking 6800. Let me know where your at.

If that truck had anywhere near 700hp to the wheels like my 12valve I might consider it but from the sounds of it its just stock. I am in tx so not sure if a swap will work out.

Ya its stock truck. And texas is a little to far sorry. The guy that is selling it hasnt responded back to any of my emails and he didnt leave a number to call on craigslist so i guess the deals not going through unfortunately. Its a pretty good deal in my opinion.
