Re: big blocks and sticks
Yes, In '72 for instance the following were available. However C10s, I'm guessing your interested in, were all column shift as were the C20 three speeds.
C10 BB 3 speed manual C20 BB 3 speed and 4 speed manual C30 BB 4 speed manual

Re: big blocks and sticks
They never came with any manual transmissions that were worthy of "hot rodding". But if you're lookin' at pullin' power, they were available.

Re: big blocks and sticks
If you are talking about using that 4 speed that was behind your I6 and you haven't changed rear gears pretty much 3rd and 4th are all you will need for a 454 in an empty truck. The stock 4 speed is a notchy granny low trans. Factory Big blocks with 3OTT are fairly rare in C10s or C20s.
