    What's a 3rd gen weigh anyway? My old blue 76 long box was 2670 with half a tank of fuel, my toolbox with a few hundred lbs in it and my dog riding shotty according to the scrap yard scale. I figure the green truck is way under that. The tool box is mostly empty, all the emissions related crap is gone from under the hood, I also removed that tank of a rear bumper from this truck.

    I am putting it on a major diet soon too. Losing all the sound dea from the deadener from the floor, removing most of the inner fenderwells up front and losing the floor of the bed. I may just attack the bed floor with a holesaw instead of complete removal. Gotta lose all the weight I can so I don't gain much from the cage I have built for it. :D

    I'm game but....I'm in Guam

    Dang I wish I was in your area. I wanna see if my truck boogie. We have street and legal drags over here but the street drags are too late (1:00am or later) and the legal drags are too far (the other side of the island).Heres what I got:
    lightened fly wheel
    removed firewall and everything I dont need under the hood
    battery relocated to bed
    electric fan
    4:11 rear end not posi
    292 cam web
    webber 45's sides with mikuni shorty two peice intake (Kruk Kruk)
    hooker long stack headers
    centerforce 2 duel friction clutch

    Thats all I can remember. There are plenty of trucks out here with this set up or more so i'm sure I'll have no trouble finding a match.Good luck to you guys.
