If there's a shop around you that can cut and shorten driveshafts, you can buy any cab/bed configuration you want

Personally I found a manual 4x4 out of a friends 5.0 short bed then went and bought a used driveshaft since no shop would shorten mine.

Mine was an enforcer 4x4 5 speed, like most of the six cylinder trucks around here, guess we're just shifty.

On another note. How is driving the stick truck? I have driven sticks all my life. When I was shopping for trucks I did run across several that were stick, and test driving them seemed like a bit of a chore. The clutch seemed to have a very long travel so I had to pick my boot up off the floor to do it. Granted these trucks were 20 years old with questionable maintenance.

Is it going to be a pain in the ***?
