"Shipping weight" and real world weight are not the same thing.  Add a couple hundred pounds for the latter.

Most truck stops have scales. For a couple bucks you can get an exact weight. :Twocents:

Try your local weight station on the interstate. They did mine for free for my car hauler. :Twocents: :shruggy:  Rick

Thanks for the info guys! I have a 100,000 lb semi truck scale for the steel haulers at work. The problem is that my Superbird is in the resto shop now. Recently I weighed a truck on that scale and came within 50lbs of the curb weight of the vehicle!
