60lbs is correct. Once in a while you will find an 80 lb from a bigger truck, but generally 60 is what you will find.

pretty sure the big blocks, V6, and c/40 and up are all 80 pound

I have pulled some from big block 1/2 ton trucks and they have all been 60. The V-6 i am unsure of, and anything C-40 and above has a 50/50 shot of an 80LB gauge from what i have seen. (i have seen a few) It is actually kind of hard to find an 80lb gauge around here.

You know if someone had one of those 80 lb gauges for sale I'd be interested in it.
