It's my opinion that the C6 would be better for your application

If the truck it's going in, had an automatic, it would definitely be easier to put an auto back in.

Hello. Need to know what tranny the truck has now. If it has a standard and u want the C-6(my choice), then u will need a steering column for the geer selector and the dash bracket for the different pedals( 2 versus 3).

I do have the column out of an automatic that will fit, right now the truck has the single rail 3sp with overdrive I believe.

C-6's are pretty close to BULLET-PROOF.
If you can do it, go there.
