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.
Jetas - yeah when i drove without the bed when i was painting it it was waaaaaay faster haha but no traction Matt - sorry bro 22re's only but it would still be fun I have a 1 ton sway bar and saw torsions coming soon my truck corners too well now that my tires dont have enough grip to stick it, and theyre a p215 size falken ze912 :/
If your motor makes any power, the longbed will make you buy carrier bearings like every month. It sux bad.
hmmm........... lemme go grab my old 86 for a day re-tune, and ill take on all challengers might not look pretty but it could run through a corner and launch like a bat outta hell...... my truck was purpose built by me, for me.
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.
