Dear Zack,

I found a nice site that has a variety of lesson plans and activities on
measurement. I wasn't sure what grade level you are looking for and so here is
the page that links to those different measurement lessons organized by grade
level:

Web-Linked mat lesson plans:
http://www.mmhschool.com/teach/math/ma-wla.html

If you go to one of the measurement lessons and then go to the "Teacher Answer
Key" there are many examples of customary measurement word problems. For
example, at Grade 5 if you go here:

http://www.mmhschool.com/teach/math/grade5/mwl57.html

and then here:

http://www.mmhschool.com/teach/math/grade5/mwl57-3t.html

and scroll down the page a little, you will find things like:

"1. How many ounces does a Radio Flyer Wagon weigh?"

I found a different site called EdHelper.com. They generate worksheets and
they have a page on Measurement here:

http://www.edhelper.com/measurement.htm

If you choose "English System Word Problems" you can print out a worksheet
with word problems on the topic of measurement.

I hope this helps.
