Guess the weight? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ItsNotABlazer · 03-09-2005, 03:21 PM

I am about to take a couple of cabs and frames to the scrap yard. How much do you figure a bare cab and frame would weigh? No glass, doors suspension , just cab and frame.

$2 per 100 lbs woohoo I am gonna be rich lol.

I would guess between 500-700lbs. (cab/frame)

hotrodhomi · 03-09-2005, 05:20 PM

I guess less than 500 pounds per cab/ frame. so if you have 2 of each I would guess less than 1000 pounds total.

CHEVYE · 03-09-2005, 08:33 PM

i`m gonna say 625lb. for cab and frame. hey, what do we win if we're closest?

79C10 · 03-09-2005, 08:47 PM

I'm gonna go with 575 per cab/frame. Do I get extra prize money for guessing right on the dollar?

87 STEPPER · 03-09-2005, 08:47 PM

I think about 780Lb's

ONE dollar.... i mean....

SanitysBane · 03-09-2005, 11:48 PM

hmm...i say 980 pounds!

ItsNotABlazer · 03-10-2005, 02:45 AM

Hmmmm now I need a prize for whomever is the closest.....how about a free cab and frame? Oh wait noone wants those in the for sale section thats why they are going to the scrapyard.

I was figuring around 5-600 for each so hopefully some of you higher guessers will be correct. Maybe I should add some extra parts to it lol.

anyone got any idea of what a cab,fenders and bed would weight.no glass,no doors,no seat or interior.just the bare body.someone is buying the bare frame off my project truck to fix the bent one in his.im looking to know to see if its worth my while to scrap the body or not for the extra cash-provided its a worthy amount.sorry to jack this thread im just curious.

Bowtie4by · 03-10-2005, 11:03 PM

I took a bare cab and a bed in and it weighed 760. Hope that helps.

SanitysBane · 03-10-2005, 11:07 PM

hmm....alot of hints, im sticking with my guess of 980 pounds
