This report presents results of four of five NCHRP Report 350 type crash tests conducted on a Modified Eccentric Loader Terminal (MELT) system for w-beam guardrails. All vehicles used in this test were 1990 and 1991 year models. As specified by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the vehicles were light-duty, six-lug, 3/4-ton Chevrolet C2500 pickup trucks.
