What is the weight of a '70 fleetside swb?

I'm gonna tow one with an '06 Avalanche from Atlanta to New Orleans and was just gonna get an idea of the total weight. We are gonna fill the bed with a bunch of heavy landscape granite chunks too. Just looking for an idea of what one weighs? ('70 shortbed).

Thanks.
