Weighed it finally

Was out getting some fuel last night, figured I would run right up the road to the truck stop.
Was very surprised at the results. Now keep in mind this truck has a utility body on it, and it's an xcab dually.
Full of fuel, full of tools, and a reversible plate compactor in the back.

Steer axle 5630

Rear axle 6510

Total 12140 lbs

That's without 180 lbs of me in the seat
Total 12320 lbs
This is how the truck spends every day of it's life.
Gonna put the excavator on the trailer to see what the combined weight is, that should be interesting.

Started out as a 2500 single wheel pickup with an 8' bed.
GVW in door says 8800#
I'm only about 3500# overweight.

I think I remember you talking about the conversion now... Drive careful.
