"1,000 lb. 1/2 ton 4x4?"
I meant minus (-)1000 pounds not 1000 pounds total. I used poly racing seats, will make my own lightweight bed, make plastic inner fenders, maybe gut the doors, etc. I already made an automatic shifter that weighs almost nothing, etc.
"I grew up in PA and ONT and rarely needed 4x4. A good set of snow tires is all you need." That's funny. Come to Iowa in about 2 months.

It is a commercial vehicle. I only paid $500 and the engine is smoke free with a new eddy carb and tires. Had to fix the rearend ($125).
Some great feedback and some spanking. Anyway I appreciate anyone that took the time to respond. I was a long time bracket racer and thank you all for the feedback.
I wonder if my 90 efi has enough back pressure.
