the 5000lb sounds more like gross weight rating. this is the max weight of the vehicle + occupants + payload. this would give about 1000lbs max load (approx 1/2 ton) plus the weight of the vehicle (approx 3600lbs)
most large city dumps have scales, if the truck is drivable they'll weigh it. if its apart you could load it on a trailor, weight trailor and truck then subtract weight of trailor |

My C20 was tipping the scales at 4750 right after I took the camper off of it. Besides it being a C20 (might account for 150-175 more pounds than C10), there was a spare tire under the bed, heavy duty diamond plate step bumper on the rear, has steel wagon wheels, all stock cast iron components on engine, A/C, etc, and it had no tailgate.
I took out the spare tire, and I changed the rear bumper to a regular one. Will be interesting to see how much it weighs when I put some new alloy wheels on it, a tailgate, an aluminum intake, and maybe aluminum heads in the future. |

I really hate these posts. I end up in the garage wondering what else I can do to make it lighter.

the problem is most scales arent accurate especiallly the one at the dump. they never have them calibrated its not like a truck stop scale.or an official scale. that would be the true way to find out or to weigh it at the track

NADA Used Car Guide lists my 1971 GMC, 1/2 ton, LWB @ 3665 lbs. This is "established shipping weight less gas oil, etc. "

You guys can stop anytime. you're giving me nightmares. 3665lbs on a long step w/ 6 cylinder? Crap. I guess I need to start making parts out of carbon fiber now.

I don't understand how some of these figures could be so low... I don't think my C20 would be over 1000 pounds heavier than a longbed C10.
