Yes, you can but it is a very difficult and costly changeover. You will have to install all the clutch materials necessary. Replace the brake pedal with one from a manual. Change the drive shaft, and the transmission mount. The torque converter will have to be removed and the bell housing changed. If you buy these parts new, it would cost thousands. Therefore the only cost effective solution it to purchase a wrecked donor vehicle to salvage parts off of. My advice is to sell this truck and then buy another one with manual transmission. You will have what you want and be money and time ahead.
