I would find a 4x4 chassis for it. Are you going to tow with it? Give us some idea how you're going to use it. It'd be a good start for a 2wd pulling truck.

i personally love the look of the C&C axles under a regular bed. but what do you plan on doing? haul, cruise, maybe go mudding or just playing on the road?

being an 81 you have the th400 if auto which is ok for the cummins but top speed might be 60-65. but you can find a good on them every now and them for 1k-1.5 most 2k. you could have the swap done for 1.5-2k
