Auto in trucks, stick in cars. The reason I like stick is because I like a nice short quick throw; something you can't get in a truck with a long shifter.

I prefer Stick but since both my 68 C10 and my 02 Z are autos, I have to live w/ Auto's for now... I am still trying to decide whether to put a BW T56 6 Speed, or Richmond 6 Speed or even a 700R4 in the 68 C10.. I cannot decide...

Stick! I drove a stick for so many yrs,that I just dont have fun with an auto trans. I will be taking out a perfectly good 400 t to install a 6 spd ROD. that old truck has needed 1 more gear to grab since I set up the 4.10 gears, & after looking at all the options, Im going to install the gearbox that i really want! Tax return is history

They each have there advantages, but sometimes you get tired of shifting gears, but a 4 gear is lots of fun!!
as for the auto its laid back cruzin, and with a stall, and a trans brake, it can be made to do what ever you wish.... As for me I wish I had both

When I bought my truck it was a stick. After 8 or so years of that crap I went to a th350. Now I wonder why it took so long to switch.

3 speed on the tree in my 69, th350 auto in my 72. 3 speed is more fun to drive (sometimes), auto is noce to relax and not have to wory about down shifting at stops, no clutch to hold in.

Automatic for driving, stick if you want to feel like you are Earnhardt reincarnate.
