Right now my truck is a styleside but I picked up a truck with a flareside box on it. I'm thinking of swapping the flareside box onto my truck cause i just love the look of them. My question is how much more does the flareside box weigh than my current styleside? Only asking cause my truck is built to race and every 100lbs is 1/10th of a second in the 1/4 mile

 

What year flairside? The 87s are around 250lbs the 92-96 flairsides are about 300-325 but the rear is not where you want to cut weight unless you just want to do burnouts

 

Im not sure what the difference with weight is on the two beds ?? , But if you want to save weight , check out fast ford fiberglass , i use one of his front bumpers , very nice , only 6lbs , roll pan helps alot to , lots you can do to remove weight , my trucks like 3800 , thats just a little more than a fox body gt convt stang...Lew

 

You need to get rid of the grill guard to , on a race truck you want the weight over the rear tires not the nose...

 

Grill guard is long gone. Got rid of it when i got rid of the 4.9. Right now got my trucks weight down to 4060lbs without me in it

 

Thats not bad , thats about where i was at before the fiberglass , i still have AC & full interior except the center console i removed , i also removed the front tank....

 

I removed the AC. Replaced bench seat with buckets. No center console cause my B&M Z-Gate shifter doesn't leave enough room for one

 

I'd think a pair of bucket seats would weigh more than the bench seat.

 

Sounds like our trucks are set up similar , i use the B&M pro stick ...
