Automtic or Manual?........

I have an 82 f-250 and it has a 351 in it but it is being restored at the time(the truck). I am probably putting 6 inches of suspension. It is also getting a built 460 put in it. I was wondering if i should make it a manual or an automatic or what would be the best.I would also like to know what size tires would be best on that truck with the 6 inch suspension.So if anyones knows or has an opinion or experianced advice please help! thanx

I also have an '82 F-250 4x4 and with 6 inches of lift I was able to fit 16 x 38.5 x 16.5 Super Swampers on 16.5 X 9.75 wheels on it no probem. As for the trans. definitely go with a C6 behind yor 460.
