Weight of truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Went to the local gravel pit for some driveway slag. My truck is 3/4 ton 4X4 with 350/4 speed. Nothing else. Empty weight was 5150 with my wife and I in it. Subtract about 450 so the truck was 4700 lb. Does this sound a little heavy? Oh, weight of truck leaving was 8650 lb. 3500 lb of slag. Made it squat and groan a little but it got us home with no problems.

Yup, my SWB 2 wheel drive small block/Th350 truck is just shy of 4000 pounds.

Ok guys, must be the transfer case and added weight of the front axle stuff huh. Thanks

My C20 weighs exactly 4790. Although it has with a spare tire, a heavy duty step bumper, two saddle tanks (empty), wooden bed, A/C, and TH400 trans.

my 1/2 ton 4x4 with 350/350 weighs 4400lbs, so 4700 for a 3/4 ton is about right

Had mine weighed several years ago, 5300# with me in it (under 150), dunno how much fuel - with saddle tanks, it holds a bit over 50 gal.
