Re: Weight of a 1947-53 truck?

If I get this truck and put a 5.9 in it, it will be temporary. My brother and I made the finals with my car but we can't drive the same car at the finals. So I'm contemplating throwing this 53 chevy together I found locally. Then after the race build it for a sweet DD. Right now the truck already has a nova stub in the front and a nova rear axle in the rear. We'll see what happens, I think I'll have to recess the firewall to get the engine in there and I'm planning on using a 4x4 trans with no tcase to keep a decent length driveshaft. I'm also thinking about a set of tow twins with a mild 12v. It is all speculation right now though. It has to be under 4499 to be in this class. I don't think that'll be a problem.
