It was my first time actually weighing a car. It’s a street build so I went for strength over weight savings every time. I’m happy with the 52% weight on the front half. Not bad for a pickup truck. The overall weight was a few hundred more than I guessed (thought maybe 3500 not 3700) but stuff adds up!

1954 dodge 3/4 ton pickup body- bed sectioned 12” shorter
104” wheelbase
1” .120”wall square tube cab floor & bed floor frames
3/16” plate boxed frame
1” thick ipe wood bed (heeeevy)
Low deck BB w aluminum top end, 727 trans. 10” setback
1989 dakota front clip
9.25 rear w discs
Torque thrust II wheels
1/2 tank of gas (50lbs)
Battery & tank behind axle

Here’s sheets of curb weight and weight with a driver how it goes down the road.
