You'll need the pedal assembly from a donor truck and the clutch linkage (or plumbing, if it's hydraulic).
You also might have to modify driveshaft lengths if the manual is a different length than the auto.
You'll also have to make sure that the trans bellhousing pattern matches your motor, and that the new tranny will bolt up with your transfer case.
You'll have to disconnect the kickdown rod from the carb, and disconnect/remove the linkage for the auto, too.
It's a pretty involved project.

lots of work. you'll need to change the balancer on the 351 to a stick setup too. you're best bet i agree, is to find a donor truck, preferably one that already has a 351/stick setup already. what trans are you bolting up?

Thanks guys for the input.that was fast.I was thinking about the 87 F250 I just got but it sounds like more work than I need to do.I will probably leave the bronco alone and have two toys to play with.Thanks again.

i would prefer it also but it seems there is not enough travel in the clutch. i either can shift into gear easy & it slips when i get on it. or slight grinding going in but i can get on it & it holds. im not using the stock setup just the master w/a CNCslave on a centerforce dual friction.
