1136 lbs ........ 1203 lbs



rr left ........ rr right
893 lbs ........ 796 lbs

weight ratio 58% front 42% rear

Why is your right front heavier then the left front?? I would think it's the other way around.

Slightly, but not enuff to make it a hundred lbs.

Since Jay was in the truck,,, I'll assume he labled the weights wrong.

I was thinking the same thing. Driver side has steering column and pump, pedals, battery, fuel tank, emissions crap under the truck.

Nope that's the way it was on the scales. I jumped in the truck after we got the initial readings.
Don't forget that the rad is off to the right side and I'm minus the a/c, condensor and ps pump on the drivers side.

Jay, Your 928 lbs lighter than me. If I were to put my engine in your truck, your truck should run a 10 flat near a 130 mph, give or take.....that would get some major attention at your local track.

Sounds like a possible future project maybe? :)
