Other than the stick hitting my knee when my dad shifted you can fit 3 across, we did 4 most of the time. Ive always owned autos and like them bc it makes my driving easier on me I really want to swap out as well. I HATE my 3spd auto

I fit three grown men across the seat, but I don't like it.

If you do like it, a truck probably isn't your taste either.

making my mustang a manual and leaving the truck as an automatic. there are plenty of write ups out there to do it on numerous vehicles. shouldnt be too hard just try to get all the parts together before you start it. oh and take the seat out when you put the pedals in makes life a whole lot easier

To do right steering colom . You will need different ecu if have a e40d or other controlled auto trans . Harness,drive shafts,xsfer case if you got a electric one . pedal just bolt in you swap support under dash . I can get manual Mazda equipped truck for under $1000 every day of week . Bad body good drivetrain.
