Yes they did. Not sure what all years they did. A buddy of mine had one that was factory 5 speed. Dont know what trans was in it though. I wanna say his was like a 2000.

Thanks guys! Its not a T-56 because they don't handle the weight of these trucks well. It's actually a Gm NV4500 5 speed big beefy girl came behind 6.0s in 2500HDs and in Dodge HD trucks behind the legendary Cummins in the 90s. Its not a quick shifting a T56 but it can hold gobbs of power and doesn't mind being bang shifted. Plus the gear ratios are perfect for a DD/Tow rig.

If you get a GM NV4500 it's a direct bolt on swap. Factory crossmember even works.
Yes its dual 3" from the headers back with a small "performance" Catalytic converter on each bank and a giant flopro dual in dual out muffler. It's really quiet for what it is. I need to get some stainless tips put on but this thing gets all the abuse and no love since my other project is still in pieces.

There was another member on here who cut out a cup holder for his 5 speed conversion. I can't seem to find anything using the search button, but the pics are def posted here.

It looked really cool. Wish I could've found the pics. Iirc. It was a short throw shifter sticking out of the left lower cup holder area--hope that makes sense.

Heres 2 other options. The remote shifter in the second video is a very expensive kit you can purchase I have the parts for it but I personally like the work truck flip down console and floor shifter better.
