Weight reduction

[Super73]

Ok.. I need to put my 63 truck on a diet.. Last time I weighed it it was 3,840 with me in it and full tank of gas. It was 2,260 in the front and 1,580 in the rear. I have since moved the batterey to the rear and last night I ordered up rear draglites (couldn't afford the fronts right now). The front tire is a 215/75/15 on a 7" steel wheel.

Excluding the wheels/tires, front crossmember and glass body panels, where is there weight to shave in this thing? Stuff I can do on the cheap or free for now.

I do have a vega manual steering box I think I am going to swap in over my power box. That should save a few ponds. Also I was thinking about converting to a dual resavor manual drake from my boosted brake set up.

Motor is a Alum LS1 with a heavy 4L80E trans. I street drive it all the time so having the electric O/D is very nice.


Thanks in advance.
