    An '81 Camaro has a unibody with 2 subframes, front and rear, unusable. The front clip and rear end/ engine and tranny are the only usable peices for your truck. Find a Chevy s10 2wd or GMC s15 2wd if you want to swap frame. the donor truck should be a shortbox standard cab.
    You don't know what you've got til it's gone
