My bathroom scale only goes to 300 lbs  Interesting question, but as Gazim says, why? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | He could start cutting it into 300 pound chunks. Just a suggestion  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 639 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 639 | Might be worth a try....I do have the day off! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | I could just barely lift my frame without anything attached to it. It seemed like the 4 speed transmission was heavier than the frame. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 176 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 176 | I measure the weight of things by how many men it takes to carry it for short distances. Chassis without the engine = 3-4 men. Frame only takes one man. Completely assembled engine, cab, and box are each two men. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 31 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 31 | Sorry its a 1/2ton. for the reason im planning on doing a s10 swap, for more modern drivetrain and 4x4. im trying to see how much i could get if i scrap it all. the frame is pretty rusty,and engine block is cracked.so i was thinking about scraping it to get money towards the s10. and yes twotone you should cut it into 300 pound chuncks for me haha jk | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | The scrap yard has scales and they know how much to pay per ton. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 31 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 31 | yea i figured they would,but the reason i was kind of wondering was because one yard said 100$ a ton with minimum of 500pounds,and the other said they would give me 120$ regardless of weight. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Scrap steel prices are up right now. Around $400 a ton for Auto scrap, remember auto scrap is mixed so it brings much less. I would say if your scraping an AD rolling chassis with the engine and trans, with out any body panels on it, you would do well to get $100 for it.
Your might be able to get a little more if you stripped of some of the parts and tried selling them one one of the forums, but then again that's a lot hassle.
