FWIW -
I just bought a load of trap rock over in Wisconsin at the Dresser Trap Rock Quarry. The last time I went over there I told you guys my 1/2 ton, 4x4, 1971 chassis with 1970 body, 350, TH350 weighed in at 4980. This time it was only 4860.

On the way home I did some quick math. The 90 pound lab wasn't with (owner too lazy to put seat cover on seat), I lost 10 pounds working on the new house (165 vs. 175), my saddle tank was empty, and my seat tank wasn't full. At $9/ton I wasn't going to argue about +/- 20 pounds.
