Manual transmission gasser

Any one remember when the last big cubic inch. Gas engine with a manual trans came out.
I bet they are rare if the owners are like me. Lol

The new autos just don't seem right for my mountain driving. Grades over 7% and many steep hairpin turns.

I would want as new as I could get.

I've got a old one I could throw a bucket of money at and be happy. ;)

    Edbehnke,

    But will it hold the torque converter locked up.

    I will need at least a 3/4 ton truck.

    with my 2006 chevy I have a manual shift set up where I can go from 1 through 6 ....just like an old manual shifter.

    here is an article, the small trucks still have manuals. http://www.trucktrend.com/features/consumer/163_1207_trucks_and_suvs_you_can_still_get_with_a_stick/nissan_to_volkswagen.html
