Alright after @TurboDennis updated his thread today I have made the decision to with the H152 5-speed.

SO I NEED SOME HELP

I just know that someone out there has a manual transmission console for a 95-97 LHD 80 series. They were available up until a few years ago. Surely someone out there bought one for a transmission swap that never happened. Well I’m here to offer you a really nice ROI. An even nicer ROI if it’s oak color. I’ll even pay a finders fee. Please help.

What’s gonna happen to that really nice automatic?

I’m going to make someone a screaming deal on a 0 mile transmission.

Having the 75,000 miles on the same transmission, the hoarder in me almost wants to buy another one. Honestly, I was in the same boat as you regarding manual versus auto transmissions. Before owning this rig, I had never owned (or desired to own) an auto. But, after driving it (and wheeling it) for so long, I would have to say that the auto might be better. That's just my humble opinion. Either way, your rig is going to be an amazing one of a kind. I love checking up on this thread.
 
This build is getting better and better. I should've listened to my parents when they told me to study harder in school! LOL

Im glad that you're going with a stick shift. Autos are way too boring to use on anything other than dedicated city commuter.

I may have missed it in your build thread, but was there anything wrong with the FT that you already had in there? Why did you decide to ditch it?

Quite a few parts for the manual swap went NLA recently. Clutch pedal among them.
 
Going to change the suspension to a fully hydraulic set up along with some air bags so John can go and bounce this truck with the other low riders in Miami. 😁

OH MY GOOD LORD
 
Aside from the color...yes. Color is pretty nauseating honestly.
