Today, I just sold a truck just like that, no it's not full sized, but it is 
a truck.

2010 Chevrolet Colorado
Manual Transmission
Manual Windows
Manual Locks
Vinyl Floor
Vinyl Seat
AM/FM Radio (no CD)
Cruise Control is standard.
Air Conditioning is standard.
Plain Steel wheels.

If a car is more to your liking,
2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, or 2010 Chevrolet Aveo
Available in a value package without A/C even.

PS,
2006 was the last year you could get a Chevy full size with a manual 
transmission, but you can still get a Silverado in 1500, 2500, & 3500 series 
with vinyl floor, vinyl seats, roll down windows, AM/FM radio, and no 
OnStar.  It is the W/T series.  But the reality is, with mass production, 
adding the power group (power windows, locks, and mirrors) only adds $995 to 
the price.

If you really want one, I have a close out 2009 Regular Cab 1500 4x2 with 
vinyl floor, vinyl seat, crank windows for about $16,900 after rebates.
