Your truck does have the 5 hole automatic hubs, right? If so, all you have to do is pull all the automatic stuff out and put the manual stuff in.

This link has pictures of all the parts you will be removing (focus on pics 9-12 for 5 hole auto hubs):

It came from the factory with the five hole hubs, so someone must have fooled around with it in the past. Regardless, that link shows both hub styles. The only thing that will matter are the spindle nut(s) that hold the hub on. If for some reason the spindle nuts were switched to the 3 hole style, they will need to be changed back to the original style so you can use manual hubs. The nuts may or may not have been switched.

Pull out both automatic hubs and verify which spindle nuts are installed on your truck.
