Yeah, the advertised curb weight on a '94 S10 was pushing 4,400 lbs, almost the same as the newer models.

everything has been taken off truck weight wise, no fuel tank fuel cell in back of truck, battery in back , the motor compartment has nothing but motor , not faulty scale man lol it was on two different scales.

lol not faulty scale , the guy took a bunch of weight off truck, fuel cell in the back, battery in back, engine compartment has been gutted , its been to two different scales.

No offense, but you seriously believe that you've shaved off one half of the weight of the truck by taking out a fuel tank and some under hood accessories? Moving a battery doesn't eliminate the weight, it just shifts the position, and a fuel cell is a safety issue, not a weight savings - a fuel cell of equal volume may even weigh MORE because of the foam, but it may be a toss up as it eliminates internal baffles. Somebody's playing games with you on the weight. Take the truck to your local truck stop and check it on a certified scale.

ic, like I said yesterday, lol I know nothing about this . tryin to understand. I've learned a lot so far

the guy also took the big leaf spring out of the back, good or bad?

He had to replace the leaf spring with something, either a triangulated three or four bar or a parallel four bar with panhard bar plus coil springs or coil-overs. Swapping out the leaf spring may have lost about 100# or so. I'd be really surprised if your truck weighs less than 3800 to 4000 pounds, fueled with you in the seat. A certified truck scale is an easy way to know for sure, but take a step stool with you to reach the panel.

lol right on there is the two smaller leaf springs

2200lbs on the front axle maybe?

Kilos??????????

A pro stocker will weigh around the same----------they make 1400+ horse power and will run the 1/8 in 4.2 seconds-----------

I wondered about that too, 36 sedan. Maybe two sets of scales, one front, one back which added together yields total weight? 2260 X 2 would be about right......
