Truck weight thread
I was thinking about the tire weight thread, and thought that a truck weight thread would be a really good idea to have as a sticky. Just have people with different trucks(stock weight with no stereos, engine swaps, tranny swaps, etc, or at least close to stock) In different configurations who have actually weighed their trucks to post their documented weight. We could get them for all 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, and 1 ton configs, and I think that it would be really useful. Just for example have a list
1500
rcsb 2wd stepside V6...XXXX
rcsb 2wd fleetside V6...XXXX
rcsb 2wd stepside V8...XXXX
rcsb 2wd fleetside V8...XXXX
rcsb 4wd stepside V6...XXXX
rcsb 4wd fleetside V8...XXXX
Etc...
Or don't distinguish the difference in each truck fleetside/stepside, but just the weight difference in any fleet/stepside and people can calculate their own. You could also do the same thing with v6/v8 trucks. Just post the difference in the weight, and it would help people find out about what their trucks weigh, or perhaps one that they are looking to buy.

I think this is a good idea, but people need to post the wieght of thier truck w/o them in it! I know at my track we just drive up to the scale, read it and pull foward. If others are like this then just subtract the wieght of yourself....and be honest!

1500 2wd RCSB 5.3 - Stripped model (no power anything and bench seat)
Stripped it even further down (tailgate, spare, sway bar, hitch, everything I could get my hands on, even floor mats and ash tray
)
4080 lbs without me in it, but I weighed it at a grain scale that is + or - 20lbs and weighs in 20lbs increments. Weighs 4260 fully dressed and misc interior crap.
