*1972C10* · 07-19-2004, 09:05 PM

I was reading a post where someone stated the wieght of there rig with them in it and i was wondering if anyone else has wieghed thier truck?

Mine is a 72 SWB C10 It weighs 3660 Empty No spare or anything

*72longbed* · 07-19-2004, 09:26 PM

My 72 C-20 longbed with the C-10 springs weighs 4500 lbs. with the spare in the back. The bed is coated with a spray-on liner as is the underside of the cab and the inside of the hood and the front fender wells top and bottom. I think it adds alot of weight.

My C/20 weighs in at 5000lbs with the spare and a full tank of gas.

mr402 · 07-19-2004, 10:32 PM

71 Chevy 1/2 4500 lbs. 71 GMC 3/4 5500 lbs. Both are long beds, 402 w/air

Wow, some heavy trucks! Im hoping a short step is under 4000... maybe Im off. Time to beef up the motor.

My Longhorn scales right @ 4040, empty with about 1/2 tank of fuel.....the old truck is pretty stripped, & runs 1/2 ton suspension tho. crazyL

My '69 C-10 SWB fleetside w/350 & 3-on-the-tree weighed around 3500 at the city dump scale a few years ago. No spare, dual exhaust, fuel level unknown, & a few square inches of cowl/firewall rusted away.

**kwmech** · 07-20-2004, 12:23 AM

71 C-20 2 people in it with a stepside bed and 1/2 tank of fuel came in over the scales at 4250. Small block with a T-350

According to my Funk & Wagnal of trucks....

1/2 Ton Step-Side should weigh approx 3426
production around 22,042

**Stocker** · 07-20-2004, 09:29 AM

LWB K20 with spare tire and who knows how much fuel, 5300#.

jorgensensc · 07-20-2004, 10:01 AM

My short step with 350/350 and a full tank of gas (21 gallons) came in at 3800 with no spare. Mine also has a wood bed, but I don't know if that adds more or less weight.

2wdBlazer · 07-20-2004, 10:58 AM

I wish somebody would get a top-less 2wd Blazer to the scales. I bet those are the lightest.

bobs409 · 07-20-2004, 08:55 PM

1969 C-10 short stepside. Empty with spare weighed 3700 at the scrapyard scale.

Mine has an 1/8" stainless steel bed floor and 350/350 running gear.

Wow thats light! Must of been a 6cyl, 3spd on the column. I weighed my 67 short stepside at a customers sight with the 327, 4speed and oak bed, 1/2 tank of gas, Blazer rims with 255/15 tires and I believe it was an Olds bench seat in it at that time weighed in at 3780lbs without me in it.
