Like Doc Brown said: "You're just not thinking 4th dimensionally"
There is more than just slapping in a manual tranny... There's the clutch master cyl and line assy, and bleeding it
there's the clutch, flywheel, pilot bushing,
there's the clutch pedal and rod,
there's the smaller brake pedal,
there's the neutral safety switch,
there's cutting the floor and installing the double shifter boots,
there's removing the shifter arm on the column,
there's rewiring the reverse lights,
there's the VSS relocation,
All of which should come from an entire donor truck...
And yes, it's gonna need a custom 2 piece driveshaft to clear the torsion bar x-member.
You neglected to inform us of the year, so either a PCM reflash or a custom burnt chip.
And as for removal, if you remove the non-functional front diff, you'll need to retain the outer CV shafts to hold the wheel bearings together.
You're looking at close to 8 grand if you piece together all the parts, maybe 6 grand if you buy a donor truck.
It's gonna be MUCH cheaper just to have a properly built 4L60 installed and all OE components left in operational condition.
