Take the weight off the frontend.

I have a local drag racer w/ a 68 and discs that wants to shed some weight on the front suspension. How did you do it? He also is thinking tubular a-arms,any suggestions?

I can't remember who it was but someone on here made there own light weight version of the original cross member for a 63-66. It turned out really nice and it saved quite a bit of weight. If i remember who it was a will post it.

I'm probably going to move my battery to the back of the truck.
