Default Would a t5 bolt into these trucks?

Any problems i might have doing this swap? Or will it all drop in/bolt up? I might have to lengthen/shorten the driveshfaft but thats obvious. Any left wings out there?

I'm sure you could rig something up for the clutch. People have done harder things to trucks.

i saw a 95 on youtube this morning and he said he had a t-45 in his. i guess it can be done. pretty sweet truck but alot slower than it sounds, type in 95 f150 dyno you should be able to find it, its white.

What are you doing? Swapping an automatic for a manual or replacing a manual with something different, and if you do have a manual then what manual do you have?

if u have an aod then yea it will bolt in but ull have to shorten the drive shaft and as for the clutch kit i believe tremec sells a conversion kit but i think a king cobra clutch would work with some modifications
