I call BS on the 4000lbs last year. You had that gutted like like striped bass! I had my truck weigh in at 4500lbs with 1/4tank, and the only real weight removal was the hitch, and light weight wheels, spare and jack removed.

HI!... I've got a modded N/A 5.4 reg-cab, sb, ss and I've lightened it up quite a bit but no where near as the extent as johnny has. I weigh in at 3850LBS with me in it and I weigh 215LBS. I think your new tube chassised truck must weigh much, much less than you stated. If I installed a 4-link and a MUSTANG II front suspension in my truck I could easily drop another 350-400LBS.

Exactly, try removing 500lbs off a truck. You'd gut it like a striped bass also! ;-) 500lbs is quite a bit of weight. Normally you can't remove weight w/o adding some back. Remove seats, add racing seats. Remove wheels, add racing wheels, etc. Then there is additional weight added above and beyond stock...roll bar, n20 bottles, reinforcement's to the chasis, etc.
Removing weight is like adding HP, it get's more difficult as you go.
