not much of an update but i figured i would post these pics any way.

cleaned up and painted some parts for my motor. now all i need to do is drain the tranny and paint it then put my new filter in and then the motor will go back in when my old man gets some free time. i also orderd a new sun roof 2 weeks ago and i still havent gotten it and im kinda pissed, hopefully i dident get ripped off.

Re: 1980 short box
 

where is the frame bent, it looks like its on the passenger side between box and cab, but not bad, for now you could always do some shimming to the body mounts to get it all lined up. But judging by the pics it looks pretty minor. I've seen them where the top of the box is hitting the cab and a good shop can straitin it really reasonbly
