I didn't even know the V8 versions came in manual's since the only ones i have been able to find is auto

is this kind of a rare find or what?

Not rare. My friend has one. The damn thing is still running like brand new with 190k on the clock.

^ did your truck come with a manual option?

I know someone that has a V8 F150 with a manual i just have never really been able to find a V8 K1500,Ram,or Dakota with them

my truck is actually more common with the manual when the 4.7 or 5.2 is in it. The 5.9s didnt have a manual option, but basically bolt up to the same tranny from behind the 5.2.
