I did a search of this forum and really couldn't come up with much on this subject. My buddy has a Dakota with a 318/5-spd (high 13-sec ride) and I love riding in his truck. I know that with enough welding wire and money anything is possible, but is this a feasible swap? I'm thinking the clutch pedal assy could come from the 5-spd 4.8 truck, but I'm not familiar enough with the 6-spd to know what all would be involved. Thanks a bunch guys!

 

I've seen it done to a '97 Chevy 1500 when my buddy put a LS1 with a 6 speed. I don't see why you couldn't do it on the newer trucks.
