Needs a diet?...
Got Harrison weighed this week-end at the Bartow County Land-fill....he weighs in at 4210 pounds. Is that about right for an F-100 with NO accessories (not even power brakes)?...Doesn't that sound a little....."heavy"?... 
Thanks...

Gary and William ----
Hoo hah ha ha...10-4 on the bondo!! I don't have any bondo on Harrison; just rusted out holes --- makes him more of a "sleeper" that way. Plus when I have engine trouble, I don't have to get out of the door and push...I can do the Barney shuffle - just stick my feet through the holes in the floor and run!!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-Aug-02 AT 07:11 PM (EST)]That's a bit high. My 79 F100 (302, C4, A/C, P/S, nothing in bed or cab) weighs at 3600 or some odd digits. And it's maximum GVWR is 4800. Not even 1000 pounds available!? Guess it's why they call it F100.....a car with a truck body.

Yeah, I'm sure they do. My 77 F150 Custom, no A/C, Just a good old 460 with ps & pb weighs in at 4480 with 1/4 tank of gas. My GVW is 6050#. And I've actually has 5000# of crushed brick in the back of her once. She squatted but the 32 11.50's never rubbed. I was shocked. Ford Tough. I did have the 1/2 leaf 1500# overload springs on it though.
