Serious question here, and I'm really being serious because I know it's gonna sound like some far off wacky question but I'm just curious........

Is there ANY way to convert a modern, brand new truck into a real 3 pedal manual transmission? I think right around 2008-2010 is the last years GM and Ford offered real sticks in their full sized V8s, maybe a little later for the diesels, and Ram last offered the 6 speed on the Cummins I think in 2018.

But I would love a Silverado with the 6.2 and stick. Or how about the Ford F-250 with the 7.3 Liter and a 6 speed?

I just think back to the last of the big block GM HD2500s from 2003-2007 with the 8.1 liter and the optional 6 speed. Those were beasts. I know modern automatics are great, and they can handle the towing and the hauling, and have so many different shift modes and overrides and capabilities..... but just like the enjoyment of driving a Camaro SS 6 speed is for the fun of a sports car, rowing the gears of a big truck can be just as fun.
