Re: Truck weight.

3330 is right in the ballpark for most 3100 trucks. After that it is the details on modified trucks that add or reduce weight.

I took my mom's 77 F 250 to the dump one day and the scrap yard the next a few months ago and there was a 500 lb difference between the scales but I figured that the scrap yard scale was spot on. It was the one that weighed lighter. At the dump you only cared about the difference between loaded and empty and I seldom go over the minimum in that truck anyhow.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
