Your going to need a trans tunnel from a stick shift cab. A 4x4 auto or stick has the same floor tunnel as a 2Wd stick does.

I am not sure if the trans cross member is the same between a stick and auto.

Don't bet on that. I stripped a 92 D350 auto dually last year. It had the low floor in it. It was an Xcab also.

Gotta have your cross member, make a mount in the firewall for your clutch master cylinder, mount up your pedals, wire your nuetral start switch from the auto harness, and wait for days till the hydraulics bleed the air out

My truck had the mounting hole with a rubber grommet in it when I did my swap. I just got rid of the neutral switch as it was all busted, and never had to bleed any air. The crossmember will probably work, too...although it isn't quite as beefy on the auto, and it makes the back sit slightly lower than it would with the 5 speed setup. Just FYI.

my auto and manual cross members where pretty much identical.
only difference was the way the transmissions mounted to the crossmember. donor was a late 1990 cab/chassis mine is a 1993 w250
