How much do I weigh?
Ok guys I need to know how much my truck weighs. The cab is not here and I am just curious so I can start looking for a Tow Rig. I have a 69 SWB with a 350 in it. Any help would be great.
thanks Brad Walker www.gaugemagazine.com |

Re: How much do I weigh?
they claim a short/fleet weighs 3600, but I know mine was just over 4000 pounds. A bare cab is 500 alone, pluss glass, seat, trim, doors, all that stuff.

Re: How much do I weigh?
I just recently pulled home a 67 swb on a u-haul trailer(without engine and trans) with my 98 chevy 1/2 4.3 V-6 , it surprised me, that 4.3 pulls pretty good, I was worried it would be groaning down the highway in 3rd gear, but it did alright. What engine have you got in your envoy?

Re: How much do I weigh?
WEll I am located in Murfreesboro, just south of Nashville. My Envoy has a 4.2 and has close to 300 hp. I was just worried about the suspension and brakes holding up.

Re: How much do I weigh?
You should be fine towing your truck. The P/O towed my dads truck complete with big block and everything from Fort Wayne, In up to Detroit and then back down to central Ohio towing it with his swb trailblazer.
