1981 Shortbed Stepside 2wd Build

[C10 the GEM]

I just got a 1981 Chevy Shortbed Stepside 2wd truck. I found it local in a marina. It's a 6 cyl truck but had a th350 and a 12 bolt non posi rear. The cab corners and rockers are rotted and the driverside floor has a hole in it. One of the previous owners patched the floor and tried to do body work to it and just caked on bondo wherever it was dented or rotted. Ive pretty much got everything out of the truck except the guage cluster. The bed is off and the whole nose is off and the motor is out. The frame was covered in about 1 inch of grease. A little degreaser did the job tho. The frame wasnt really rusty at all though and a little wire brusing cleaned it right up.

Not the best pics. I forgot to take pics before i stripped the truck. w.e

Future Plans- Weld in cab corners and inner/outer rocker panels patch floor, 3/5 drop with spindles in the front and flip kit in the rear
