what does your truck weigh? got an idea!

[Diesel Freak]

Well, the creative juices have been running... . and at the possible detriment of my check book.



what does a 2 wheel drive regular cab long box (or chassis cab)auto weigh?



it would be cool to shorten the frame to use a short box.



Put her on a strict diet... and centralize mass could I get weight down to 5000#?



17x10 wheels... . twin turbos... . DD3 or SM injectors... . HOT PE... 20 gallon fuel cell... N2O... C3H8



well, could I get into the 12's?

Calculator says you could run 12. 50's all day with 526 HP. If you weighed in at 5200lbs.

Its do-able... . 526HP is just a few grand away.



Prolly some nice 16x32 slicks

Ladder bars to stop the rear axle flex

4:10 gears and your there.



automatic trans would be cool too

You could easily get a reg cab 2500 longbed down to 5,000 lbs... Fully equipped, they are 5,800.

Yup,Evan is right. I weighed Emily's 2wd reg-cab/auto in at 5810 lbs. I've already ran the 500hp idea by her,but she said no way.

Truck weight?

Mine weighs 7432#

With all that is in the sig.

 

[Barry]

7620# full of fuel

Tires

It would be easy to hook a 12 second anything on a slick that fit on the stock rim. Whats so cool is the whole drivetrain can handle it(well DTT equiped auto would be needed. . or a clutch). An auto would be your best bet for drag racing come on man... do it do it!

10700 with me, fuel and 1. 84 yds of #25 crusher run gravel in the bed. About 6810 empty, I think.

You know, you might be wise to buy a 1/2 ton stripper truck and transplant a Cummins into it... .....

 

[GFoley]

Weighed 7,840 lbs topped off, me in the seat.



I have a good bit of stuff in the tool box like hitches and jacks. , always prepared to help someone out.

I was thiking about that, but the front suspension and brakes may not be able to handle a CTD... plus the frame may twist like a pretzyl with over 1060ft*lbf of torque.
