I am about to (hopefully) become the owner of a sbc equpped LUV, anyone know about what average weight this would be? No cage (yet) otherwise all steel body.
Thanks

Thanks.
My truck is all steel, glass hood, some stuff has been cut out/removed (fenderwells/a lot of the stock front sheet metal that was not needed with the V-8/etc) still has two seats, dash (plexiglass), carpeting.
I would like to cut some more weight off it, any suggestions?

I got some negative feedback when I posted the completion of the rewiring of my truck, but I honestly feal that I shaved some weight off by doing that. I didnt do it for that purpose, but there are ways to simplify almost every harness if you get an aftermarket fuse panel. Im around alot of bracket racers at work and at the speed shops I frequent and the first thing they do is yank anything that they dont need on the car. Including wires.

wires add up. It takes ounces to make pounds.

I remember the crap you got, big. thought it was uncalled for imo. weight is weight, doesn't matter where it comes from. m2p
