Now I know weight was really helping there (his car being 3,200 with out him), but my truck last time weighed was only 3,840 with me in it. I have since:

Swaped from 7" steel wheels to 6" front and 12" rear drag lite
Removed front bumper and frame stubs
Pulled heater box and plumbing for it

Have yet to:
Remove power steering and install Vega steering box
Swap to manual brakes from my boosted set up
Buy glass hood.

I suspect I'll be a little bellow stock F-body weight when done.
