3800 pounds seem right?
Hey.... I thought I saw someone post that their truck weighed in at 4900 pounds... I just weighed mine at 3800 (certified scale).... how could there be that much difference?
Also, anyone know who might have resonable fiberglass body parts for our trucks? I saw some, but they were about 500-600 just for a hood.... not worth that much to me.... how much weight difference would it make? ~Sean |

With options and/or 4 wheel drive, weight can vary widely.

Short bed, long bed, 3/4 ton, 1/2 ton, V8, I6,
auto, manual, air, no air ... 3800 seems light, but for a short bed 1/2 ton I6 and 3 speed 2wd maybe ?? Mike D.

MTDave,
Wow! No wonder these trucks do well at 14-16 miles to the gallon. Jim |

Mine weighs 3980 lbs. w/o me in it, and almost dry tank of gas. That is a '72 C10, LWB, 350/auto, with PS and PB. I think part of the problem is that my rear bumper must weigh at least 200lbs. It is one of those chrome step bumpers made out of 1/2" thick steel stock. Since i don't tow anything with the truck, i think i will ditch it one day, and maybe my weight will drop to around 3800lbs, lol.

Selling scrap are you longhornmail
 That is where i got my weight figures, the scale at the scrap metal yard. No point in selling it anymore, the local yard is offering $.005 a pound for scrap steel and iron. Not even a penny a pound. It costs me more in gas and labor to get it there, lol.

Atleast they pay you for scrap. Here they charge 2 1/2 cents a pound to take it from you

My truck was 4790 on an old counter-balance type scale (read: accurate) when I had to get a weight for the DMV. I was shocked! But then again that was with a full size spare under the bed and a very heavy diamond plate step bumper in addition to the fact that the truck is a C20, with TH-400 trans, has dual saddle tanks, wood bed (which is heavier than steel?), power brakes, power steering, air conditioning, steel eight lug wagon wheels, bucket seats, etc. So I guess it all adds up!

My long wide K20 was 5300# on certified scales. 350/350, PS, PDB, fact air, heavy step bumper, split rim spare, and saddle tanks - but I can't recall how much fuel.

My Longhorn weighs 4040 on the scales, less driver, & about 1/2 tank of fuel. The old truck is pretty stripped tho! I am running alum heads, & intake, Less heater & AC, no inners or front bumper, Jaz plastic buckets & rollin on 1/2 ton suspension. Stock curb weight should have been around 5000 lbs(give or take a tad). The 1/2 ton long wb trucks should run 3800-3900 lbs depending on options......short wb could run in the range of 3500-3600, again depending on options. crazyL, rowin 6 & smiling
