My 52 GMC Build - Page 32 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Valarius_Starchaser · 05-18-2016, 03:32 PM

I will play what do I win if I'm closest?

4385lbs is my guess tough to know what the trans and axle all add to the equation

EDIT: 60F/40R

Johnny_Lamebridge · 05-18-2016, 03:48 PM

Hmmm... put me down for 4500 lbs and 54%F, 46%R.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-18-2016, 03:49 PM

I'll guess 4250lbs.

RockinKees · 05-18-2016, 05:04 PM

My guess is 4123 lbs.
Weight 58% front, 42% rear.

What have I won??

piratexpress1369a · 05-18-2016, 08:24 PM

My guess 4950 lbs...

jed971959 · 05-18-2016, 08:43 PM

I'm guess is 4985lbs

**joedoh** · 05-18-2016, 09:18 PM

4650!

**Advanced Design** · 05-18-2016, 09:26 PM

4280 lbs...62% front, 38% rear. Is there a prize for the closest?

lower50's · 05-18-2016, 09:48 PM

Well I would love to buy the winner a coffee or beer but I'm not sure how to do that due to distance. So we will see.

Valarius_Starchaser · 05-18-2016, 10:19 PM

It's like the price is right in here now Lower50s all like "come on down" what if two people are equidistant is there a showcase showdown round?

lower50's · 05-19-2016, 03:30 PM

Valarius_Starchaser 4385lbs 60F/40R

Johnny_Lamebridge 4500 lbs and 54%F, 46%R

Dieselwrencher 4250lbs.

RockinKees 4123 lbs. 58% front, 42% rear

piratexpress1369a 4950 lbs

jed971959 4985lbs

joedoh 4650

Advanced Design 4280 lbs...62% front, 38% rear

Lower50's 5100 lbs 60% front 40% rear

The truck without me and no fuel is 4631 lbs and it is 55% front 45% rear
With me and 15.5 gallons of diesel it was 4900lbs So I would say the winner is:
joedoh

If we ever meet up I will buy you a drink!
Johnny_Lamebridge won the split I will buy you a beer!!

Thanks for your guesses guys, during the build I was hoping it was not over 5000lbs and I got my wish. But I am really surprised that it is so close to 50/50

lower50's · 05-19-2016, 03:39 PM

In October we are driving my GMC to north Carolina for the Good Guys show. It is about a 800 mile drive. Maybe I can meet up with some of you there or on our way back. I have a day and a half to get there before the show and a week to tour home.

That sounds like an awesome trip! You've got all summer to get the bugs worked out, so it shouldn't be an issue making the drive. If you have time, I'd recommend you check out a couple Nascar team shops. They're pretty impressive! Three years ago I spent an entire day checking out a bunch of them. It was the best part of my vacation... but the wife might not agree.

That will be an awesome trip! Looks too far East for a swing through Illinois though you would be very welcome.

Johnny_Lamebridge · 05-19-2016, 03:41 PM

Woo hoo... and congrats to Joe Doh too!

Joe, I'll be happy to collect your prize for you.

**joedoh** · 05-20-2016, 11:31 AM

someone needs to nominate this for the unusual powertrain TOTM, so much more than the usual cummins swap!
