Re: 65 dodge d100 crew cab AKA ''she wants the D''
Well been checking out weight of a 65 dodge crew cab 4x4 sweptline 6ft bed and says 4,679 pounds. The 318/np435/NP201 weighs roughly 880-900 pounds and the LS/4l60 (cast iron block) weighs roughly 650 pounds so I've been told so I'm looking at 230-250 pounds of weight shed off just in the motor/trans alone. Not trying to make this dodge some super light race truck but I am taking into consideration that the more weight there is the more the fuel economy drops and probably rear wheel horsepower. So for those reason any unneeded weight I can shed is better for me. Another thing is when I go to register the truck here in picky CA and it's not a 3/4 ton 4wd anymore there probably going to look at the weight of it to help decide what they should classify it
