70c10 - you just keep on drivin slow, I haven't heard a 16 y/o say anything that responsible in years... Good on ya.
Having said that, however - I agree, 5or6speed + 500hp = not on a budget

The 4.11 is interesting in the rain with the th400 lol And thanks sir.

I won't bring up your age anymore, but in regards to the original post a t-56 or tko is your best option if you want the cheapest 5 or 6 speed. If all you really wanted was the manual, then why not go for a 4 speed? They are everywhere and are much cheaper.

It may get a little abuse, on the back roads where I live. Simply because, there is no one around that I can hurt. And the little abuse it gets, is a little pull here and there. With 4 wheel drum brakes and stock suspension its nothing fast. And I have the truck due to tradition. Passed down to me. Was originally my grandmothers. Its always had a built motor. When she and then when dad had it, the truck had a 4 speed muncie. Are those strong enough? When dad started playing with big blocks, he swapped over to the th400. They have the same final gear, I believe? I was hoping for a little better final drive, but I typically drive back roads anyways so it doesn't really matter all to much. Could always throw in a different rear end I guess to make up the difference. Would be cool to have one in it, for the idea of thats what dad and my grandmother had in it.
Also, was originally 3 on the tree v8 truck.
