No. I have not calculated it exactly. Things are changing daily, and I don't have all the pieces in my hands yet. Hopefully it'll be light enough to have to add ballast.

Great build. I'm following closely since I'm building a similar truck Do you think he would build some more of the control arms? I need a set for sure

I'm sure he will, but not till he finishes my truck. Haha

Firewall looks good. I just made some filler panels up for mine the other day. One of these days I'll actually get them in.

Pull'n it.
Surely a race truck can loose that power steering cooler.

Are you reading my mind? I was going to ask that exact question in a new thread. No problem getting rid of it?
Joesixpack
Pull'n it.
Really won't need it for the light steering and brake duty it'll see.

No, not yet. I'm going to wait until the truck is all back together, so I can get accurate corner weights. At this point, I'm still on the fence as to axle changes and back-half. I really want to do this right, even if it means missing most of this year.

Thank you. I'm planning on getting rid of the abs pump also.

Good. Thank you for the info.
Erick at Brown's had this bada$$ trans cooler on the shelf, so I snagged it.
When I was down at Dow Brothers', we got the steering column and wheel mocked up where it needed to go.

This does not include the C2 half of the engine harness, passenger side battery wiring, grid heater wiring, door wiring, or cab wiring. I'm guessing there is somewhere around 50 pounds of wiring in a regular cab.
This was one of three piles of tape and loom that was discarded.
This is only a fraction of the wiring that was removed from the harnesses.
My fingers are a little raw but the wiring harness looks much cleaner now. I'm waiting on some more wire wrap to show up so I can finish it up. The new and improved bumper to bumper harness weighs 7 lbs. Best of all, I have a much better understanding of my truck's electrical system now. Big thanks to Chase L. and Erick for some help when I got hung up.
