1980 Dodge D-150 weight
 
Truck is in guide @ 3555 and 3605, what is the realistic race weight for one of these trucks from guys like John Irving, etc who have/do run them.

Rear End 63-4 inches between mounts?

weight distribution has got to be an issue.

Thinking of a stepside.

Thanks

Eric

Neither of ours was a problem to make weight even with my portly figure!

The truck was easy to hook going low 1.50 even on radials.

Weight distribution was not any worse than our Aspen 2 Door.

Get the truck Low with Camaro Frt. springs and flipped rear end with
Calvert Bars. Spring Hangers must be removed and put on opposite sides

I would sell my newly built 80 Dodge D150 for $8,500. or $6,500 rolling.
