I was thinking here in Missouri, if you had all the receipts, they would allow you to transfer a vin #.

Ya. I have titles from both cabs, receipts, and had it inspected. They are still being asses about it. I should have just switched vin tags.

I know you're cheating, because I'm cheating and you're beating me...

Not sure yet. I hope around the 5000 mark. I will weight it and let you know.


My truck weighs 5330lbs and its 4x4.I cant loose any more without fibre glass and lexan and i need to add a cage from the standard roll bar.

I would think you could get your truck down to 4700lbs with some serious reduction.

Bad news. Put a little more fuel to her this weekend and finally limped the trans. Should have left the tune on that did 395. Guess thats part of learning.

Weighed it today. 5510 pounds with a full tank of fuel.

I'm assuming it has full power doors based on what I see from the extended cab interior? What all is taken off at that weight? Does it still have the tailgate, rear bumper, spare, etc at that weight?

No power windows. Power locks though. Still has rear bumper and tailgate. Only things I took off other then the ex cab was spare, parking brake linkages, over load springs and thats it. Still has passenger seat and all the other interior crap. My goal is 5000 pounds after winter.

Thank you. Considering a short bed swap on mine and I was curious what the weight savings would be.

Have you or do you plan to tow at all with it? I'm kind of curious how a RCSB 2500HD would tow.

Dont plan on towing with it. I know at 395hp its a riot compared to what it was. Its amazing how much of a differance weight will make.

Chasing threads and doing some more cleaning. About to start putting her back together. Heads where all checked over and cleaned up. Got a Bosch remain pump. The cab swap was so much easier.
