I still have the cast iron heads and block in the car.

*** Front rear Total
Old 2020 1420 3440
New 1760 1485 3245
Diff -260 +65 -195

The front to rear split has gone from 600 down to 275

Do you think I can get it to 50 / 50 front - rear

weighing my truck

Jerry,

Where in Chino did you get it weighed? Is it off the 10?

Do you have to wait in line with the other "big rigs" to get it weighed?

How much of a fee do they typically charge?

As you can tell from all the questions I've never "weighed" a vehicle before.

I'd like to weigh my '88 Toyota std. bed 2WD PU.


-Mike

The place I use is

Chino Valley Fuel
5415 Schaefer Ave.
Chino, Ca.91710
909-393-4415

Chino Valley Fuel is a cardlock type gas station with a scale and Never has a line. The hours are 6:00am-5:00pm M-F. The cost is $ 5.00 for front, rear and total.

I am sure that you can get it pretty close if not right down to the once of being 50/50 in weight front/rear
