NO.

Is there a way to put a manual trans in your truck?

YES.

But, it will cost a small fortune in parts and fabrication.

It's nice to know that there are a few of us around who love our manuals.

personally i like manuals and automatics the same... sure a manual adds to the whole driving thing but sometimes auto is convinient i would buy either one without a problem in the world.

I love my manual. Honestly driving auto's bugs me for some reason. Almost as bad as using cruise control. Could be because I learned to drive in a 3 ton 10spd truck when I was 12. That or I'm a control freak. Either works for me.
