I look forward to learning a lot about, what I don't know. I come from the world of F bodies and LS, and honestly am just tired of laptops and computers. I traded a few things and ended up with a 1983 LWB with a 6.2 Diesel and a 700r4. A/c has been redone, but throws the belt its not aligned right. The gauges are the older version and the bezel will not fit. Runs great, but needs some work cosmetically. I am on the hunt for a gas truck as of now looking to trade this one and a Camaro I have. There is a lot I don't know about these trucks. Like someone offered me a short bed step side, will a regular short bed work, or do you have to weld on all new mounting points. I look forward to chatting with you, and gaining some knowledge.

True...but OP's truck is a long bed so if he wants to convert it to stepside, he'll have to get the 8' steppy bed.

Welcome from VA. I think long beds look awesome dropped a bit with rally wheels and white letter tires.
