). The problem is, the truck that I found is manual. Also, it is a 2WD model. I don't mind manual, but I will be driving this car alot, so an automatic would be nice. I want a 4X4 so I was considering changing it.

IMO it would be easier just to find a 4x4 auto instead of converting.
To convert to 4x4 you'll need an adapter to hook it up to a tcase or a different tranny, different frame (the whole front suspension is totally different), transfer case, shifter, etc. If you went for a solid axle swap, its probably just expensive but you wouldn't have to change the frame.
To convert to an auto is possible. You'll need the pedals (actually maybe just the brake pedal...) from an auto truck, a new flywheel/flexplate, tranny, tranny controller (or maybe the pcm from an auto truck with a new tune, or maybe even just a retuned version of your pcm). Different driveshafts would probably be in order because as far as I know the 4l60e is shorter than the manual.
Not sure on the wiring.
