Default 1930 Roaster body and chassis weigh

Could someone give me a rough Idea of the weight of a roadster Body and frame? A rough guess would be great. Trying to ship.
Body only frame. Thanks

If you are close to a drive on scale like say at a truck stop, metal recycler, or a grain elevator. You can use a truck or a trailer to weigh it. Weigh the trailer or truck first then load the stuff up and weigh it again. If you ship on a pallet or in a crate, then that has to be there too. Subtract the empty weight from the loaded weight and you have it.

It's a gamble to ship a body if it's not crated or at least framed in. You never know how they are going to load less than a truck load freight.
