update
so i successfully removed 120 pounds off of the truck i pulled off all the sound deadening from the floor removed replaced the bucket seats with a bench removed various interior panels, and moved the exhaust outlet from behind the rear tire to in front of it and the new mufflers 2 pounds lighter stock. i also changed the oil prior to the change i put a can of seafoam in to clean out the sludge. i didn't weigh the sludge that came out but there was a lot.
i also picked up some more parts to help with more efficiency they are :
1. 4 barrel intake (aluminum so it lighter and also will let me eliminate the feed back carb which isn't operating correctly)
2. 500 cfm holley carb
3. new distributor
4.efi exhaust manifolds (flow better the headers and cheaper too)
5.replaced the front tires with shorter one (this was just dumb luck belts broke in the old tires and all the local junk yard had was a fairly new pair which are significantly shorter and 4 lobs lighter)
6.also found a fiberglass cowl induction hood for free it needs a few cracks repaired but the price was right.
