Auto to Manual Trans?
I'm a newbie to the forum, so don't roast me too bad. Anyways, I have an 85' Xtra Cab with an automatic and want to change it to a manual 5 Speed. Has anyone done this with any success? Trying to figure out where to begin and what to look for as far as transmissions go. Any help is much appreciated

I agree with Wyoming 9. The best way is to get a complete truck or a parts truck. You'll need a lot of different parts some large some big. You'll need clutch master cylinder, tranny, all the associated lines, pedal assembly, just to name a few. Good luck!

Can be done. I did this back when I had an 89 4runner. Swapped out the auto trans for a manual 5 speed transmission. Like previous people said, get a donor. You'll need transmission, clutch setup, pedal assembly, etc. I found a donor in a junk yard and pulled all necessary parts. This was 10 years ago so don't have much details.

Easy swap. Just find a trans and t-case. All the rest of the parts can be had off a 2wd that is easier to come by. you will need to jump the wires for the neutral safety, I think It was just to connect the 2 big white wires together or something like that. been years. I have done my own fair share of swaps on these trucks.
