Hey all.
Figured weight cutting plays into performance and is the primary reason for it, lol. Hope this thread is not out of place
I've got an 88' Burb and a very clean 98.
I am wondering - with there being so much to the interior of these, so many seats, so much deadening, so much accessories etc how much weight you lose by gutting the interiors of square or GMT Burbs.
I'm running my 3/4 ton 88 burb with just front bench, manual windows, bare painted metal aft of the passenger compartment, just an open box with carpet.
My 1998 burb is fully bedecked with power everything, leather seats, super quiet inside, all seat rows, etc etc.
Basically if anyone knows what going from full interior to a pretty minimal one would do.
I know these things will never be truly *light* but I like the idea of going spartan for feel and mpg gains
