I'd do them both at the same time. Your not going to need the xfer case any more and it is just dead weight.

 

it's a money thing. only so much to spend before spring. i have enough to get a 14bolt under the truck and rims and tires. maybe a little more. it would be nice to do the stall and tcase at the same time since i have to pull the tranny but that means that project will cost some $$$.

one good thing about most of my current plans is i will have stuff to sell along the way. the rims and tires i have now can go. the posi and 1350yolk on the 10bolt can go, my 4l80 stall can go. when i do the fuel cell i can sell the twin intank set up.

 

what about fiberglass front parts like your hood and maybe fenders?

 

i might be interested in that. do they make anything?

 

They definitely make hoods. I have a carbon fiber hood waiting to go on -- I bought it used and shipped direct to my body shop, but from what he tells me the entire hood is less than 20 lbs.

Those strong arms look really good, but Air Ride told me they don't make a pair that will fit on a torsion bar truck (according to them the lower a-arm mounts in a different place, something I was not able to confirm with anyone else, btw -- plus, by the time you add on everything you need -- and I added on a 4 link with bags hehe -- it gets to around $6k). I'd stick with coil-over's personally.

 

you can get fiber hoods all day long. I have never seen fiberglass fenders for our trucks though. I am not sure what your plans for the usefulness of the truck are but there is alot of weight reduction in the small things like glass. Switch to a lexan or similar product. All of the guts in your doors that make the windows roll up and down. You may want to look into a stepside bed as well.

 

you could get fiberglass flared fenders, like for prerunners. I've seen them in as small as 2" of flare to up to 6" of flare. I'll have to dig up the sites......

 

I've found f'glass fenders for 99-02 Chevys, but no GMC's or 03+ Chevys.

I am digging that design! I imagine that is functional?!
