weight distribution

[78 Chevyrado]

MY trucks 5000lbs.

How much weight do you think is on the front axle?  how much on the rear axle?   Just a curious question.

[Lt.Del]

3200 front
1800 rear

just a guess

[78 Chevyrado]

Thats what my guess is too.

[Captkaos]

Assume about 60.5/39.5 weight distribution for pickups.

[Lt.Del]

wow, i was close if given that formula

3025 front
1975 rear

my guess translates to 64% front & 36% rear

next question, how much does a half ton of feathers weigh in back of a chevy?

[Blazin]

What about in the back of a Dodge?

[Layne]

1000 lbs right? Can you get that many in there? Long or short bed?

[Lt.Del]

might need a semi...that's a lot of feathers.

haha   The one in our science class asked which weighs more, a ton of rocks or a ton of feathers. 

[Lt.Del]

rocks of course

You have to include how many trucks you put them in... so about 5 c-10s for the feathers, and one truck for the rocks. Feathers win.

Where are we going with this??? Lol

Last time I checked a ton weights the same no matter how much space it takes, a ton is a ton...

[Lt.Del]

no wonder i failed physics in high school    Thanks for clarifying

Miller just had to ruin/fail to see the joke. Thanks! 

[SMiller]

No no I get it, lol
