It really comes down to what you want and how you are going to use the truck.

It would be a toss up for me. If it were purely a vehicle for me, I would go manual. If anyone else had to ever drive it, I would go automatic.

 

Personally, I'd love a 6spd, but like kyle said, if anyone else had to drive it, like your wife, then it'd be auto.

 

I'm 24 single and i wouldn't let my wife drive this anyway lol wouldn't matter if it was an auto or not...

 

Manual all the way.

 

I think it'd be more fun with a six speed. Just the fact you're more connected with the brute of a V8 under the hood.

 

man this thing gets better and better. Def. Go with a manual.

 

no brainer. Manual!

 

So its official now 6speed T56 with a heads and cammed 5.3L. I have to get another harness and get the computer reflashed for the manual tune. Cool deal.... My buddy is in good with a local machine shop and he said that if i throw down like 5 bucks i can use their media blaster so i can get the prep work on the valve covers and all the other parts. Then i'll get the paint done.

 

why not????? this thing is going to be an awesome beast! holy cow hurry up and finish it....
