I've seen a T56 and TKO600 shifter routed through the open half of the center console, retaining the cup holders. I'm sure it was a custom shifter, but that's easy work.
unfortunately, neither of those trans will work in your 4wd, which is why I would go allison 6 speed manual if you can swing it $$ wise. I've always preferred manuals offroad anyways.

Liek I said in the email I wouldnt want to do it but thats jsut me too much truck/power/tires to be shifting all the time and you need to concentrate on driving with that much power in a truck and being that high off the ground. A 1000hp in a car is totally different from a 1000hp in a jacked up truck.

Stock gear ratio will be fine with that much power you wont need anymore. You most likely have 3.73s since its a z71 so that woiuld be fine. I would go with a 12 bolt with some nice moser axles or something equal to them and a eaton lsd or a detroit locker owuld probably be the best for all out strength.

I thought about converting my truck but I know I cant use a t56 because of the 4x4 and I was told that the 6-speed manuals arent too strong... unless the 6-speed manual you're talking about is the one found in the trucks from the factory.

Sorry, I meant the ZF S6-650 6-speed. As you know, the allison is the 5 speed auto.
The ZF S6-650 comes from the factory behind the 8.1L and Duramax and is stronger and lighter than the NVG 4500 5-speed it replaces. I hear new cost from a GM parts discount house has it at about $3100, which is very competitive with its competition.
Ratios are as follows:
1: 5.79
2: 3.31
3: 2.10
4: 1.31
5: 1.00
6: 0.76
However, I haven't confirmed that the bellhousing pattern is the same yet.
