I had my truck weighed twice while leaving a landfill on scales that are not near as accurate as race scales but both times the total weight including me (roughly 200 lbs) and a set of tools behind the seat came to roughly 3400 pounds.
When people say "That heavy old truck would plow through a new car." I like to point out that most S10 pickups outweigh this "heavy old truck".
The balanced front to rear ratio explains why my truck gets around so well in snow with a decent set of tires.
An LS engine, weighing in at an easy 150 pounds less than the original 216 would almost make the truck rear heavy.
