I would run a automatic for driveability

Very familiar with COPO cars, as far as literature and the internet has taught me. What you are talking about on your truck is what I plan on doing. All except the A/C. I know how hot it gets in Ok ( You guys even set a record for the hottest summer in U.S. history at an average temp of 88.7 degrees. ) but I don't want Air in my truck. I also plan on a M22 4 speed with 4.11's. Also I probably don't have the money to buy a complete L78.
