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

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
