We have a 4-spd in our '56. The reason we bought the truck was it had a manual transmission so there is no other way in my book. That being said I've given a ride to family members with three adults in the front seat and it's a little tight. If the person riding next to you doesn't mind a little contact with your hands during shifting it's fine but otherwise for some it might be a "no-go". Also the way our shifter is mounted in reverse the shifter hits my leg a little but in all the forward gears it's at a very good natural position.
