I've been slighted. No mention of the SSII, which weighs even less with its lack of 500 lb doors and 500 lb traveltop!!! Sheesh.
Here is the straight scoop, from an old magazine I have. This is for the SSII, add 500# per door, and #300 for the top of a Scout II. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

It says my truck weighs 3540 lbs. Empty. Probably pretty close.

Just add a few hundred for the top and doors!!! Or, better yet take the top and doors off, and make a real wheeling rig out of it. Doors and tops are for wimps anyway!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Thanks.

The scales must a been way off when I weighed my SSIIGTX..... <IMG SRC="smilies/eyemouth.gif" border="0">

Pat, I don't know what you are smoking <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> But......... My 77 SSII when it was stock with a I-H 304 and t-19 wide, 33s on 10 inch steel wheels, 3 inch pipe bumpers front and rear, soft top and doors and a 33 inch spare ,1/2 tank fuel, 8274 winch with 150ft 3/8s wire rope, and dirty paint with the radio at half volumn <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> and no one in it weighed..................4380 LBS!

I always use 4500 lbs. <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

Joe <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

500# per door? you mean 50# right?

I changed hinges last week, door felt like about 80#. that was with the glass, chrome trim, regulator, window tracks, door latch, exterior handle,wing window,2 coats of hammerite, and 2 hinges, but no arm rest, no window crank handle, no interior latch handle, no interior cover or trim. so obviously yours may be more with your option package...lol

Hey!! I have it in black and white. Right there it says test vehicle weight was 3300 lbs and advertised weight is 3540, or something like that!! And, I have another one that says the curb weight is 3450. Here it is. This is from four wheel and off road, April 1978.

http://www.ihssii.org/MagazineArticles/4wheelOffroadSSIISpecSheet.jpg

On the other hand, I think that is with 29 inch tires, no passenger seat, 18 gallon gas tank, no rear seat, no push bar, etc. Basically, the stripped out SSII, driver only, empty of gas. Still seems kind of light though. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

After 1980, the metric system took hold, and 3500 lbs. now equals 4500 lbs. <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

Probably. <g> But I always believe everything I read!!! <g>

OK 3500 lbs is not acurate at all. Especially with a 345. Those damn engines have to weigh 700lbs. Don't heeps weigh around 3500lbs? I think that on a low end maybe 4500lbs.

IIRC, the "lightest" Traveltop rolled off the assembly line *just* under 4000lbs.

4cyl, blah blah.

My race Scout weighs 3700lbs - STRIPPED, but with a heavy 'cage and the tailgate still.

Then again, that's full width axles, larger tires, blah blah..

Dunno what my 0-60 times are, either.. but I know it takes 7seconds flat from a dead stop to hit the 100-yard mark, and that's not fast enough (faster than the Jeeps in my class, tho').. @ about 52mph.

5500rpm, 4.88s, low-range, 31s..

I NEED a 4bbl 304 intake...

You know I cant remember how fast it was stock...but I can't imagine it being much slower than it is now.

From what I understand IH "officially" under rated the weight to get the Scout under the weight needed for a commercial license. My Scout with the v6 and no doors or top weighed in at 3940, but that was before the current work to it too. I think the new rearend weighs close to that <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
