    Anyone know what a 1969 A100 pick up should weigh? I now have a 360ci in it. Just trying to work out some power to weight ideas for bracket racing this year.

    a lot of metal yards will have scales also recycling places often have auto scales and you can contact your local motor vehicle department they will also know of weigh stations that they use for truck registration.Thje first 2 might even let you weigh for free if they dig your car and you tell them its just for fun not certificates of any kind.My local steel yard was totally stoked to weigh my VW Bug race car

    1/4 of a tank of fuel, and no, by no means am I big. Quite the opposite.

    Something is definitely off here. Donivan's posted article states that the vans had a curb weight of 3040 lbs.

    Add a couple hundred for the diver and fuel then deduct for the front bumper...
