Nice! My '01 DODGE 1/2T V8-318 weighed 5,250-lbs with driver & full fuel, otherwise empty. I think that as yours is under 6,000-lbs that it is in a good beginning position.

As to weight loss, what about the large rear quarter windows? In the 60's the work truck version of Subs used sheet metal panels. (A similar approach for rear door/glass, maybe). I don't know the weights involved.
