OKAY,
So what Im about to be doing is swapping an automatic transmission for a manual transmission. The Automatic transmission is blown, and is currently sitting in a 2001 Ram 2500 quad cab short bed... Now, I have a donor truck, which is a 1995 ram 1500 single cab short bed with a 5 speed... Both trucks are 4x4 and have the 318 engine. My gut tells me that my 5 speed should match up fine in place of the auto.. But I want to make sure it will before I get in to deep. I am absolutely determined too do this. Which is to say, if the manual transmission I have doesn't fit, can someone tell me which Manual transmission would match?
Thanks a lot!

I'm fairly certain any year truck (that is a 2nd gen) would work. Just have to swap all the parts over to your truck, and have PCM flashed.
Here's a good DIY:
