I happen to know that my '87 GL Syncro weighed in at 3950 lbs.  I was
working on a computer controlled grain scale and needed to test the
calibration.  It was empty at the time (no cargo, no people) but I don't
recall where the gas tank level was at.

Does anyone know the weight of a syncro
westy vs. a standard syncro GL with no
camping or weekended stuff.  Actually,
weights for all syncro models would be
great.

I used to have this info, but seem to
have lost it.  I need the data in order
to make a final determination on the
stiffness of the Betts syncro springs
side order.  Mark is doing the main
order...for rears and maybe another run
on fronts.  I may do a separate run of
front and rears with slightly different
specs.
