Real trucks have gearboxes. Set yourself apart from the crowd.
You don't need a hydralic slave cylinder at all, however. You'll need to find the Z bar ect from some other sap whose ditching his parts to go automatic, aka 'wussrod'.
Wether or not your driveshaft will need to be modified would depend on the tranny in question. It prolly will, s'not a big item.
T-5, t45s, TKO 500 &600 , are the only gearboxes I know of that have the shifter were you really need it to be.
I know, my muncie rockcrusher shifter is where my hip should be.
