Super73, I know for a fact that it will save you a lot of weight even at standard weight via US body, they can make then 50lbs if that is what you want. (special order) It is at my brothers shop, but the crate weighed more than the tilt. I can't weigh over 100lbs if that...

This is mine mocked on my truck. The suspension was a 4/6 drop with a 454, now it is more like a 1.5/6 drop with the fiberglass tilt and 6.0L.

This is the truck BEFORE the frontend change.
