So I weighed my truck...

[87BrnRsd]

Well, I finally weighed my truck the other day. I weighed it without the top, 1/4tank of gas, spare 37" tire, hi-lift, and toolbox. Not to mention I removed some of the smog crap and ac compressor, plus all of the carpet and insulation. Anyone want to render a guess?

Jays68Yak was the closest. It weighed in at 5220 lbs. Without the tools, spare, and high-lift...im thinking close to 5000.

Now...how to get the weight down to the 4's (4999 will do )? Im thinking..take the smog pump off. Cut some more of the fenders. And possibly cut the bumpers. That should shave an additional 30-40 lbs or so. Hmm....

Take out the front fenderwells, remove the A/C condensor, remove the big A/c box on the firewall, Swap in an aluminum intake manifold, remove the headliner, etc.

Edit: swap on a pickup truck tailgate

The headliner and aluminum intake have already been done. Good point on the tailgate though. It has an electric window...and is one heavy sob. I think swapping on a new tailgate, removing the smog pump, cutting the fenders more, and cutting the bumpers some may get me close to the 5000-5100 mark....
Thanks for the advice.

Only big chunk would be go full topless. I wonder what mine is Plus i'm adding 2x2 rockers soon.

 

[Chevy305]

anything that is steel and could be aluminum would save a good amount of weight.

billet aluminum

Take off the doors

 

[resurrected_jimmy]

aluminum rims, rear disk swap, performance calipers front and rear

Good excuse for a set of aluminum heads

Or you could drop your drivetrain into a go-cart.
