    Guess the weight

    The bucket on top has a bunch of small batteries in from old PBX cabinets and small UPS' so not counting that since it was sold separately - the rest is all ferrous.

    One clue - no my truck isn't lowered, it has stock suspension.

    Also, not that it matters but I didn't put those vent things on the windows, I bought it that way and plan on taking them off at some point.

    That squat and tire looks like 1158#. The little vent things will keep the rain out with the window cracked.

    Looks like it could be a 94-97 s10 judging by the wheels & body style.

    Maybe 1600 lbs ?

    Those 'vent things' will usually fall off on their own, anyway...

    Looks to be about 750 lbs...

    Looks like duct work. 75 lbs. assuming something heavier is unseen.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    WINNER!

    *twilight zone music* ... 1020# in ferrous - don't have the ticket with me but it's a little strange, you might have it right on the button or within 25 lbs or so for the entire load. I remember the ferrous cause it's the heaviest so far with this truck - ferrous only anyway.

    it was large computer chassis equipment + 1/4 of one very large metal "table" cut up.

    I didn't think anyone would get it just by looking at the squat.
