The Build: 1991 GMC Sierra "Street Coupe" Edition (Square Body)

Hello everyone. You're probably wondering "How can you build a 1991 square body regular cab short box truck?" Well, it's open to a lot of interpretation on my part but, imagine you could walk into a GM dealership in 1990 and order a brand new regular cab short box truck. It's not too far fetched! They still made the Crews and Blazer/Jimmy a square body yet. And to take it one step further, they would offer a "Street Coupe" edition for that final year. For those unfamiliar with the Street Coupe, it was an edition that GM put out in the late 70's till 1981. I have always loved those trucks, so my plan is to recreate one based on 1991 options. I am starting with a 1984 Canadian built GMC Sierra Classic. Originally owned from new by my neighbor, then sold to another neighbor, then sold to me in 2012. All owners since new living only 2 miles apart. This will be a complete frame-off restoration, with the final truck an interpretation of a 1991 Street Coupe. I have started this thread to share with everyone this process that has been in the works for many years. It's going to be a slow process, but I'm hoping to receive a lot of advice from so many of you with decades more experience than I. And so it begins...
