T-case is most likely a Borg-Warner 1356. Converting requires swapping out at least the rear half of the casing. So the answer is no, there is no "kit" because to make it happen you would have to tear down the case and swap in the rear half of the case from a manual shift unit. Its just simpler to swap in the whole t-case. The reason is that the mounting for the shift motor and the mounting for the shift linkage are completely different so the casting that makes upthe rear half of the case is different. The casting for the front half and everything else including the output configuration is identical so the swap to a manual version is a "remove/replace" operation with the only modification being that you will need to remove the plate in the floorboard that covers the hole where the shift lever would have been if the truck had had a manual case to begin with. Fortunately, the plate is just bolted and gasketed in place.
