Steve,
You know my opinion, lol, but I'll let it fly anyway. Other than what my wife drives (everyday car and spare car only) everything I have is Manual and Has to be Manual. Big Truck, Small Truck, Hot Rod, and Farm Tractor. Even all my Lawn Tractors are Manual.
To those who didn't see it, this started in the other thread when Speed posted about his '76 1-Ton. We felt we kind of Hi-Jacked his thread and Steve brought it over here.
I was commenting on how I like the SM 465 in his (Speed's) truck and how I am having a real hard time finding a Manual trans in some of the trucks I'm looking to buy. I'm looking at certain model Chevy and GMC trucks up to '94 and all I am finding is automatics. It's getting to be like a needle in a haystack.
