72 C10, Auto to Manual?

Hello all my fellow GM fans. I have a qwik question to ask. How hard, and is it possible to convert my 72, LWB, 5.7, TH350 truck to a manual trans?, and is it do-able? Basically, other than the clutch pedal assembly, the manual trans, clutch, master cylinder with reservoir, and bell housing, what all components do I need to make my truck into a floor mounted stick? I would really like to have a 4 spd, or even a 5 spd standard trans. Ive been thru several TH350s, as they just cant hold up to my needs. I use the truck as a daily driver/homestead/farm truck. and an occasional road trip. I do haul a motorcycle some times and also pull a small/medium trailer (between 12'-16' so not to big or very heavy for a half ton truck. I'm just looking for info on someone that's already done this swap or a thread on it. I've searched for one but turn up with no results. Any info is appreciated. thanx in advance
