Transmission swap

[Jdtme246]

Hey guys! I am new to the forum and I own a 1992 dodge W150! It is an automatic with the 318. I was wondering if anyone else has manual swapped one like it and how hard it would be and everything i would need to get for it. My truck is a single cab long bed. I have already swapped the transmission once with another automatic due to a trans line bursting and spilling all the fluid. I really dont wanna get the OG automatic rebuilt and put back in unless the manual swap is more expensive.. Im not really sure what I am doing with an auto to manual swap especially in my truck. Guidance would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you

Manual stuff is getting harder to find. I suggest a whole parts truck and swap pieces till it's done.

I got a whole 4spd parts truck to convert one of mine. Haven't done it yet.... but I did such a swap on a 84 Suburban 15 years ago and it worked out fine.
