We ship 8 inch narrowed Fords via UPS in 3 boxes, total weight including
boxes and packing was 171 pounds on the last one. 10 inch brakes and no
posi but with 3.50 gears. Still a handfull, the 8 inch non posi gear chuck
boxed is 66 pounds.
I had to reference a UPS slip for this info, hope their scale is accurate.
If you want a weight surprise lift a Rover 5spd after playing with T-5s.
The Rover must weigh 30 pounds more...
