06 auto to 6spd swap

How difficult would it be to swap an automatic with a 6 speed? My master game plan is to take out my automatic and trade or sell it while it still works and put a 6 speed in with a southbend dd clutch to handle the performance mods from my engine. Have any of you done this or know how much this would cost?

Member cbrahs is doing the same swap to his 2007. He does have a thread that lists ALL of what you will need to get it done, the parts list might be a good help for you to know everything needed.

cheapest way is probably to sell your truck and buy a 6 speed.
