Re: waight of a 68 1/2 ton
What i've heard, about 5300. To know the weight of your truck fo' sho', go to a steel place and put it on the scale, they may charge like $2 because they aren't getting anything in terns of steel, but if they charge anything it will be cheap

Re: waight of a 68 1/2 ton
The 67-72 2wd trucks tend to go around 4,000 lbs curb weight. A full tank of gas, auto, air, 4x4, long vs short bed can all change the curb weight. A loaded 3/4 ton 4x4 can go 5,000lbs+

Re: waight of a 68 1/2 ton
GM Restoration Guide lists the CE as 3640 curb weight and the CS as 3495.

Re: waight of a 68 1/2 ton
while true, those are dry weights, with no options. A tank of fuel, 5 quarts of oil, 2 gallons of coolant, a spare tire, rear bumper, power steering and brakes, A/C reminants... it adds up quick.

Re: waight of a 68 1/2 ton
The grain elevator or the local landfill are where I go to get scaled.

Re: waight of a 68 1/2 ton
Go to your local quarry.
If you don't need an "official weight" with paper work, they'll usually just let you roll up on the scale & get a weight. Most of them have a digital, outside display. Just remember to take a pen & paper so you can write it down.

Re: waight of a 68 1/2 ton
Weigh scales, too. Usually their scales are just large enough to get all wheels on it. My 72 is 4000-4100lb, without me in it, quarter to half tank of gas, spare tire, rear bumper, no a/c, power steering, with toolbox, and maybe 50 pounds of misc crap in it. According to the scale at the junk/scrapyard I used to work at, so god knows how that scale could have been rigged.
Not as bad as my 97, with gear and tools, it drives everyday at about or a bit above the 6,000lb mark. half ton truck. ![]()

Re: waight of a 68 1/2 ton
The easiest way here is to go to the transfer station (dump) and they will weigh your truck before and after you dump your garbage...or just charge you $20 for the minimum.

Re: weight of a 68 1/2 ton
thats probably your GVW. The theoretical weight of your truck + full payload.
8000 pounds sounds about right... maybe a bit heavy. |

Re: weight of a 68 1/2 ton
I weighed my stepper just after I put the V8 in a few years back. I had steel rally wheels, oak bed floor, original steel bumpers, drum brakes, and a loaded down tool box in the floor board and mine tipped the scales at CO-OP at 3560 lbs. That's without my big butt in it. With the aluminum wheels, aftermarket bumpers and no tools in the floor, I would guess about 3450 lbs. now on mine.

Re: weight of a 68 1/2 ton
I just went to the dump the other day, and the scale there said my 69 1/2 ton short wide weighed 3942. It was 39 and some change.
