Re: weight

Mines the Alston urathane bushed street 4link package. Prebent 2x3 framerails with Alstons NHRA+ wall thickness (pretty sure it was .130" wall). Really don't know what I saved weight wise,, loosing the frame rails, the wood bed, the truck 12bolt, stock steel wheel tubs, with trailing arm suspension ... and replacing with the light weight frame rails, narrowed 9" with light disks, coil-over suspension,, sheeeeze. Probably 300-400 pounds +. The bedsides are original steel, but everything else from the cab back was whacked, replaced with aluminum, or plain ol deleted.

I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
