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

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
