C10-C90 Bill, Yes it does have a GVW of 14,000. The previous owner installed a small block Chevy and bolted it up to the stock 4 speed trans, and was a daily driver up until 2013. The front suspension is a torsion bar set up. It looks like it has the stock rear axle which is probably about a 6.17. That is one of the reasons I'm thinking about selling it. I'd like to drive it daily and that low of a rearend is limited to slow speeds. I'd rather sell it to somebody that would enjoy restoring it and keep it original. These old trucks are getting scarce. Hoping I can find a new home for someone that would bring it back to it's former glory. Runningiron.
