Okay,so I'm looking at purchasing either a 64 GMC long box,or a 65 short box. I've been told that automatic transmissions are better, but I am still not sure.From what I 've understood manuals make more power and have better mileage. I dont think learning how to drive a standard will be a problem for me and honestly thats what I prefer. So I just want some opinions on this and some pros and cons. Also would their be any difference as far as installation.
