Well, swapping to an aftermarket subframe (with 14" brakes) can drop 50-75lbs compared to a stock subframe with power steering and discs.

Maybe 150-170. I pick mine up and move it around by myself all the time, it's more awkward (balance) then heavy.
I would agree. I'm 140 lbs dripping wet, and I was able to move it around the shop myself.
It's bulky, but not nearly as heavy as it looks.

I was aware that he asked for a bare frame, but If you check out the link of information I posted you can see 261 lbs. with arms and all in the picture. Getting rid of the box, sway bar, spindles, coils, arms, hubs, and crossmember can easily drop 100-110 lbs. :thumbsup:
