Hey guys, I'm getting back to work on my 81 stepside that I've had for about 20 years. It's been though a lot of changes though the years, it started off as a 6 cylinder 3speed on the column with no power anything with the shock mounts blown out of the frame and every panel bent, fixed it all once and it got totalled fixed again and was good for years. It got power brakes, steering, tilt wheel, 400 turbo, a few motors right now its a 350 with 202 heads, 373 posi,, cal track bars, fuel cell and a bunch of other stuff, since adding all this though the years I was in the process of repairing the floors and cab corners for the second time when a tree fell on the garage and bent the roof so now I'm switching cabs, any advice would be great. Do now. It's a new chapter for my 81 that I've had since high school and is my first project that I'm never giving up on.

Thanks guys, the truck is like part of the family. She's missing a few things but the bolts are around here somewhere to put her back together again. I think I remember where they all go
