You could attach bathroom scales along your chassis rails and then stick the tub back on top. I reckon about four each side should do it. Make sure you use the same scales though to ensure an accurate reading. It doesn't work so well if you mix digital and analogue. What you do is mount them upside down so that you can crawl underneath the truck to read them. You add up all the readings and Hey Presto! you have your load weight.

 

If you use something like [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/HemingWeigh-Digital-Bathroom-Hydration-Wireless/dp/B004EG220C/ref=sr_1_5?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1317755372&sr=1-5]these[/ame] you can also find out the moisture content of the wood too!

Jobs a carrot!

You're my man Brassmonkey!

 

4th can in, and it's all starting to make sense.

 

I'm off up Argos first thing, then it's a visit to VOSA for some testing and to pass on your details. I can't possibly take all the credit!

So its Taxi time, not a bigger truck with a drink affected driver behind the wheel.
