Do you have a local recycle center? Bring a bunch of cardboard, scrap metal, or something to them and have them weigh you going in and out. That's how I found out how much my Bronco weighed.

My '85 short E150 was about 4200 on the scales iirc. Registration said 3950. I got the scale slip doing a recycling run. Based on the other junk in there at the time and the plywood on the walls, 4100 might be more reasonable.

Heard they where around 2 ton but thought it sounded a bit heavy . It seems alot but I guess the big iron block hooked to an old fashion heavy duty tranny .. girder frame .. rear axle ..drive shaft..leaf springs..I -beam..metal bumpers ..the weight adds up fast. Damm I love these old vehicles . Will finish van and hit the dump as suggested. Asked for a ballpark and got it.
Thanks Guys
