No, but you should be able to find a local grain farmer who has a scale in one of they're barns in your neck of the woods, most of the farmers around here have them to weigh they're loads for the cows "custom" blend..,before it goes into the silo.They may get a kick out of seeing your old truck..ask around at local Southern states or grain/seed supply houses. Next try might be the nearest interstate truck stop, most have a scale.

If you do a M-II right, it may not weigh less than stock. The 351 vs a flatty is probably 50 - 75 lb less, but your A/T weighs about 50 - 75 lbs more than a stock 3-sp. Not a lot of difference overall at any rate. The booster has nothing to do with brake performance, only braking effort.

Echo Echo Echo!

It will be within 50 pounds of the original truck.

Flatty in a 55 Ross? Shhhh! Just a slip I know, but I promise not to tell anyone!
