Keep the auto, if you plan on doing any crawling and like to do it with ease, the auto will be much more enjoyable. For a short time, I thought about swapping my 400 for a 465, but quickly came to my senses.

Wow man! thems fightin words around here! J/k
Some of us live and die by the 465, way more dependable then that slush box. Yeah I know it's easier without that extra pedal, but direct drive kicks ass!

You brought a post back from the dead...
I am in the process of swapping out the 400 for a 465 and won't be looking back.....

Weird, I just found one of these trucks with a plow for $750. I'm not a fan of GM diesels, and tried to get it without the motor, but didn't want to tear it apart. Figure wait a week or so, he will come down on his price. But back to the question, I have only ever had 1 standard truck, and that was a junk 3 speed. When/if I ever get the 400/SM465 in my suburban, I will let you know how it is. But I can't wait to get it done, need to get off my lazy a$$ and swap it!!!!
