few undercarriage pics. Getting close on the bottom side. Just gotta finish up making the trans cooling lines and ebrake cables. Then go around and tighten everything up.

1st attempt at uploading pics directly from computer. Making very very slow progress. Things always take 10x longer than I think. Truck as is weight 3239 lbs. Exhaust, Brakes, Tire/wheel package along with the Gear Vendors OD added a lot of weight. Looking like curb will be around 3650 lbs or so

I find it interesting that my 32 Ford pickup and 51 Ford pickup both are within 100 lbs. of yours. One is a 302 and tremec 3550 and the other is a 4.6 2v and tremec 3650. They both have ac and stereo equipment.

Within 100 of the 3239? or projected done weight of 3650? It may even end up 3750 a lot of weight to add yet.

Fenders etc not much but by the time I add tailgate, Grille, bumpers, fluids, fuel tank it will get up there. SHould have gone with a aluminum block . .

3239. The 32 has a 9" rear with Mark vi discs that are real heavy. The 51 has a 8.8 rear with light calipers and discs. The 32 also has an alum. flywheel. The 51 sits on a custom chassis that I fabbed out of 2 x 6 and 2 x 4 rectangle tubing. They both have a metal bed floor that is similar to a 70's series F100. Your engine surely has 200 lbs on the 4.6 and 100 on the 302.

[ProjectSideOiler]

My engine was under 500 lbs. Don't let all that "painted" aluminum fool you . . That's lighter than a 4.6. A stock 352/390 is only 625. The FE engines are not as heavy as most think.

[ProjectSideOiler]

Thinking what all I need to add. this truck could be 3700 lbs. Will soon find out!

I have 4 certified scales so I weigh everything.

First startup is always fun!
