Default Where can I get my truck weighed?

Does anyone know of a shop in Austin (or somewhere near it) that has a scale? I would really like to know so I know what I'm working with. my guess is 4400 lbs. without me, but I have seen 4000 lbs. and 4200 lbs., but that can't be right.

Most race tracks have a scale.


FWIW- My 05 RCSB 5.3 weighs in at 4650#s without the jack, tailgate and bed mat.

Some salvage yards have a scale. We don't, but some do.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but where do you go when you get your car weighed NHRAMAN (or anyone that knows)? I have looked for a while and can't find any.
