Re: How much does it weigh?
I'd say that was right on the money. With me and my dog in it leaving the dump I run right under 4300 lbs across the scales. You can usually check by going across the truck scales at a truck stop and if you don't get a weight slip it shouldn't cost anything. |

Re: How much does it weigh?
I think you will find the C-20 to weigh in a little more....tween 4600-4800 curb weight . 3990 should be about right on for the C-10.....crazyL

Re: How much does it weigh?
Hmmm...I'll just say 5,000 to be safe. What a pig. I liked the 4,000 lb. idea better.

Re: How much does it weigh?
Nope. C10 (8ft fleet) weight for 1971 is 3605 lbs, and the C20 is 386 lbs heavier.
Here's a source for you:http://www.oldride.com/library/1971_chevrolet_c10.html The perception that trucks are piggish, overweight brutes is only a result of the past two (maybe three) generations of American vehicles which, due to incessant government nannying, are increasingly heavy and plain huge. Ours, however, ain't that way. ![]()

Re: How much does it weigh?
I weighed my 67 SWB when I got out of the Army in 2013 - had to weigh it empty and loaded for my self move. 283/manual brakes, no AC, no pS, buddy buckets: 3660 pounds with a 1/2 tank of gas.

...just back from dropping off a load full of scrap/rotted wood at the dump (careully packed of course...lol)....so I have another truck weight reference for those interested:
The weight of my truck via the weigh scale there was 4180 lbs. (without people/passengers- truck only) The truck is equipped as follows: '72, C10, 1/2 ton 8' long bed w/ trailing arm suspension (not leafs) Relatively complete option group (ps / pb / a/c, radio, gauges, deluxe trim, etc) 350 / auto / h.duty rad / chrome rear bumper w/ hidden tow hitch. std. tires (235-15") (w/ full spare tire on board) Fuel load: less than 1/2 ....so for sure, easily north of 2 tons..and that is an empty 1/2 ton. All good Coley

Re: How much does it weigh?
For the most part I could care less about the weight, but I may be hauling one 1,100 miles across the country this summer and I want to make sure I have the right vehicle for the job.

Re: How much does it weigh?
My 70 GMC C2500 weighed 5250# with me in it at the metal place. I'm 180#. It was an 8' big block truck with disc conversion and figure a couple of hundred pounds in the aluminum tool box. Power steering and factory air. Also had class IV receiver hitch, 10" sub and amp under the seat as well as a rubber bed mat. It all adds up. My truck was a 7500/7500 truck. (7500 GVW as equipped with 7500 being max for the platform.) I've had 3 different '70 GMC 2500's. Small block 4 speed Longhorn was a 6600/7500 truck and six cylinder 3 speed stepside was a 6200/7500 truck. GVW has nothing to do with how much it actually weighs, but how much the total combined truck and load should be for the truck as it is equipped.

Re: How much does it weigh?
That's gross... my 70 Longhorn scales around 4250 I think. That's what my lift says, and while it says "+/- 2%" I don't know if it's really within 2 percent or not...

Re: How much does it weigh?
My 72 Longhorn is 6450 with about 8 gallons of fuel before my aftermarket bumpers. That is with 3/4 boxed frame, all 1/4" wall cross members, a Cummins, and D60/D80 axles. I figured it would be higher than that when I was building it.

Re: How much does it weigh?
Just going by scale weights, I had a 71, 8' step that consistantly went 4040 empty with a 220 lb driver. The longhorn goes 4240, empty with driver(and 1/2 tank of fuel). Now if you have seen this old longhorn, its pretty stripped...no front bumper,inner tubs,no heater or air,no door glass,& 1/2 ton suspension under it. I am sure that I have shaved 6-700 lbs off the weight, & it still scales within 100 lbs of the listed weight in the chart?????? crazyL

Re: How much does it weigh?
My 71 SWB C10's with a small block weight is 3905 lbs with a full tank of fuel. There is also a couple add on acessories that would weigh about 125 lbs all together. Why is there not any fiberglass for these trucks?

Re: How much does it weigh?
According to the oldride site, the 4x4's were only about 200-300 lbs heavier. I would have guessed much more than that. Think of what the np205 alone weighs, plus you have extra member(s), heavier hubs, typically heavier tires, steering, and driveshaft.
