Weight, specs

[bradheck]

I have been looking on the web and this site... and I know it has to be out there...
I am looking at buying a 1970 gmc short bed.. but I'll probably have to trailer it home, it's 6 hours away... What do these weigh?? I am asking so I can factor in the weight of it for a trailer and the truck/trailer combined with the truck I plan on towing it with... Also, is there a list with like overall lenght, width, etc??

Obviously I am new to the site and will hopefully be a proud owner soon...

Thanks

Brad

I've honestly hnever seen one that light. I'm sure there were some, but every one (1/2 ton SWB) I've seen were more like 4000 pounds.
Where you goin to get your truck?

My 71 longbed weights 4100 lbs. The shortbed should be lighter by a few hundred or so.

Thanks for the reply's.. As it turns out, I'm going to go look at it this weekend, but not going to have a trailer or truck... so, if I like it, i'll have to go back up to get it.. It's in il, it's a 1970 gmc swb. From the pics it doesn't have power brakes or power steering, or air... so, i've been reading about converting those.. well, haven't read about ac yet... It's in decent shape, it's one of the most original looking ones I have seen.. The one rocker needs to be replaced, the other one is in really good shape. One of the supports under the cab has a hole rusted in it, but it doesn't appear to be too large... so, we'll see. it's an ugly ass gold color, looks straight 70's(no offense to anyone).. but maybe someday I'll try to re-do it and restore it cab off... I'm somewhat mechanically inclined and work on my own cars, but i've never had a car I can work on as a toy I guess or hobby... I've replaced a head gasket before and replace suspension parts, changed fluids all of those maintenance and some break fix, I like the way these trucks look and they seem easy to work on and good to drive around town and cruise in...

Anyone know how much longer a long bed or I guess non swb one is??? The short beds seem much harder to find...

I'm going out on a limb here... hoping no one would try to steal it out from under me if it's a decent truck... Here's the link.. Also, if I just violated any forum rules, let me know.. I don't want to break them...

I have other pics they sent me also, i'll get your responses first... before I upload them, they are the, "bad pics" it's a v8 auto.. not sure what size engine, guessing 350..

Also, that paint isn't real recent I think prob 3 years old based on the other pics I have with the rust through the paint on the one rocker pretty much down the line ..
