I've always wondered if there was a way to find out how many GMT400's were equiped with manual tranny's and the Silverado trim package. I'd think that they were on the "rare" side, since automatics were part of the Silverado Trim package. Anyone have any insight?

I am building one that is a single cab short bed 3/4 ton. I have never seen one around here. Manual trannys of any sort are rare in these parts, much less in a silverado.

Here's rare, compared to most -

1994 GMC C1500 SLE so it's just GMC's version of a Silverado. Uplevel grille/composite lights, deluxe interior with pw/pdl/tilt/cruise power driver's seat, etc. Factory-equipped NV4500 heavy duty 5 speed (RPO MT8) and tow hooks (RPO V76)

Oh, and I forgot this one. It's another GMC C1500 SLE, 1991 model with all regular Silvy style options, pw/pdl/tilt/cruise cloth interior etc. was a 5.7/Getrag(?) light duty 5 speed (RPO MG5). Just a parts truck but it ran and drove fine. Kinda gutless with 3.08 gears though! Anyway, it's long since parted out and gone to the crusher as barely a shell. (no title, suspect they had a title loan out on it, demolished interior, and major electrical problems). It gave up a good engine, transmission, 1991 needle/tach cluster(!), and quite a few other goodies before death.

even rarer would be a short cab short bed in a 2500 series! Not sure that, that's ever been built!!

Anyhow, im jealous of all you's that have manual in your Silverado's!!! I only wish my dually had one! Trying to find one around here is like trying to dig for gold in your backyard!
