My 73 stepside k10 was lighter than the 86 toyota i had that was stock with a 4cyl and 31x10.5 tires on it. Fiqured that was why that little 4cyl could not qit drinking so much gas. It seemed everything about the 79 k10 i had was heavier than on the 73. The tires were a heavier more ply tire. The wagon wheels were heavier. The 203 transfer case compared to any other one is a boat anchor. I would guess near 150 more lbs than the 205 and a 208 is a lot less than either. The frame of the truck was cut off as far up a possible in the rear up under the bed and still leave the bed mount and shackle mount alone before welding in a cross piece to take a reciever hitch. I just keep on until it got down to a lighter truck a little at the time. The 79 truck was a 350 with a 350 and 203. It would never see the lighter side of 4000lbs. I don't know what the big difference was though. It even drove a lot different than the 73.
