gutting the bed ?'s for drag racing

I dont have any pics handy, but all I did was just the floor, and I would have to say it was good for 150 ish
 
I would talk to trentnell, he did it on his truck I think he said it dropped around 250lbs but I may be way off on that. I know he just used small square tube to brace the sides up and keep it looking like a truck.

here are some pics of mine , weight savings was 180-190 lbs , cost was less than 200.00 . not the best pics but its all i could find in my photo bucket , i would do it differently now but at the time it wroked and was pretty easy to build , i will be re-doing it this winter though .

I would/ am going to build it so the bed sides are quick removable , so i can pull the sides and rear off in less than 5 minutes . other than that it has worked very well , and def worth the time .
