It also varies with rear axle ratio, due to launchability requirements. You have to be able to get rolling from a dead stop on a 16% grade at GCW (Gross Combined Weight - weight of the truck plus weight of the fully laden trailer).
According to this chart from the GM Heritage Center Archives info packet (page 101):
http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs...olet-Truck.pdf
you would be in the 10,000 to 11,000 lb GCW range using the 350 V8 or 396 V8 engines as a benchmark.
