How much do your rims and tires weight. Those are really easy to remove. Also the engine is very heavy, consider taking it out.

If you want to lighten the truck, fill the tires with hellium. Pu the excess bottle in the cab and inhale it. You may not be any lighter or go any faster but you'll talk funny. Good luck with that fast time.

Empty the gas tank. It's safer that way.

I always thought wather was 8lbs ... I was told young ... "A pint is a pound the world around". Two pints to a quart and 4 quarts to a gallon = 8lbs.
