Automatic swap to a manual?

[The Swed]

There's a 69 C10 six lug with a manual transmission for sell for $500 out here. Could I pull the parts off that and use it?

Yes, but you have your work cut out for you. So, the parts truck has the trans you want?

You might have to change the "hump" in the cab of the C20 (not sure if you have high hump or low hump you need high hump).

You will have to remove the forged rivets holding in the cross-member that holds the mounts that hold the bell housing and bolt it into the C20.

You may have to move the engine back, but your parts truck should have all the right parts as long as it's a V8.

You will have to transfer all the clutch linkage to the C20.

The headers may or may not work with a manual, I'm thinking probably not but not sure.

The steering column is different, don't think this is a deal breaker.

I'm sure there is more than I can think of right now.

A parts truck for this endeavor is the way to go. Plus, you get spare other stuff.
