Weight?

Does anyone have a good approximation of how much a 69 gmc lwb with a big block would weigh?

Thankx
Jonathan

Well, here's what i have found on real world weights.
My 69 GMC SWB/fleet side truck, small block chevy with alluminum intake and wheels, and light weight headers (verses manifolds) tipped the scales at 3900 and some chainge. This was with 1/2 tank or so and a few BS things in the tool box, but no spare tire.

Today, I scrapped an engine and got my 1970 caddy big block Longhorn on the scales. No light weight stuff here, steel wheels, cast iron 60 pound intake, log manifolds that look like they are 25 pounds...but are probably more...
3/4 tank of gas, tool box again with minimal junk and no spare tire, and it came in at 4950 pounds with out my 200 pound rear in it.

Sure, we are looking at apples to oranges, but it is all still fruit, and no one else had answered in 2 hrs.
