How much does your truck weigh?
I just got done with a rebuild of my 92 F150 and I am interested to know how much weight I was able to shave off. This weekend my truck (with ~30 gal. of gas and me in the driver's seat) weighed in at 5040 lbs. I have a 92 F150, 351W, 4x4, E4OD, standard cab, short bed.
I should have thought of this before I did my rebuild if I wanted to keep track of this. I was really surprised to learn my truck weighed 5040 because the same scale put me at 5600 a couple of years ago and I find it hard to believe that I shaved off 600 lbs. I thought I saved more like 200 lbs.

I bet with a person in it, its probably closer to 6k lbs unloaded with somebody in it. The 5900lbs I gave on my regular cab is with the 35" swampers on it. And I've got a couple hundred pounds of equipment (chains, straps, cables, stereo) on the truck at all times.

That's more than what my ext cab 4x4 weights(4950) so I say the scale you're using needs a calibration. When I had a reg cab 4x4 it came in at around 4600lbs.

My 96 RCSB 351 E4OD 4x4 was about 4600 with no driver but with a toolbox with some junk in it and 1/2 tank of gas.
I took my long bed (same drive train) to the yard it it was 4900 unloaded don't remember how much gas I had in it but that one had two tanks.
30 gallons of gas weighs about about 180 lbs, plus the driver dunno who much you weigh, could get truck truck moving towards 5k, but it does seem on the heavy side.

I went to the rock yard yesterday for some pea gravel in my 97 f250 ccsb 2wd 460 e4od. Front tank full, rear empty. 4 passengers me my wife, son and daughter. 5860lbs but 550 of that was passengers.
I would like to know how much it weighed when I got it.
I have removed so much muddy cement like mix from it, it's not even funny.
