frame weight
Hello
I was curious if anyone had a close idea of the weight of a frame w/o the front and rear suspension?
I have a 63 that is back halved and with the cage, I am getting concerned with the overall weight. I would like to know how much heavier I am than a stock GM frame. I think the frames are close for weight from 63-82, but I cannot say for sure
thanks
Tom

Hello
Thanks very much for the responses. I measured the tubing lengths and with a steel chart, I think I am going to be over 350 lbs with a full cage.
I have a R@P unit which will help, but I will have to lighten up on some other areas
thanks very much
