Estimates for 1/4 time?

Since there are a few of us here building trucks, can you share how you got yours so light? I know I would welcome any ideas.
I haven't done anything to the truck other than swap it from a 225 Slant 6 to the 360 and swap the 8 1/4 out for the 8 3/4. If I knew I would tell you, but the grain elevator scale showed 3,700 pounds with my dad and I in it. Subtract our weights and it would be around 3,200. Maybe I should check for heavy rust weight loss LOL. If I had an explanation I would gladly give it to you.
