My 69 SWB Fleet side GMC with a 350/TH350 weighs in just shy of 4000 pounds.
Still trying to figure that one out.

My 1979 C/20, 350/350 combo weighed in at 5120 pounds. I think I had full tanks of gas but I am not sure.

You and me both. My '70 GMC SWB fleet was just a shred under 4000lb with just a little gas, a 350/THM400, a spare, and a trailer hitch. Of course, since then I've swapped heads, intake, and tranny, and dumped the "spare" and hitch, heh...

maybe the GMCs(with all of that pretty front chrome) just weigh a little more than da-chevys

It does seem odd that a shortwb truck would weigh that much.......are you guys sure you took all the rocks out of your pockets?

LOL Al!
I'll say I did have a wagon wheel spare in back, and a small bottle jack and maybe 25 pounde of ca-ca in the box I had in the back, plus I do have a porky calss 4 hitch... but I also have light weight wheels, headers, and an alluminum intake, which all weigh a fraction of the stock stuff.

i weighed in at local gravel pits and at scrap yard in peoria several times in the first chevy pickup i ever had, 68 C-10 350 th350 longfleet and it weighed 3850 with me in it. thats right on target for what GM lists in their specs tables for these, they list 3500-3600's for shortwheel 2wd's, but thats shipping weight no fluids, so.,,

You left a little bit of info out, but here's what the dealer's sales data says for base models:

'69 c10 swb stepside six = 3447
'69 c10 swb fleetside six = 3527
'69 c10 lwb stepside six = 3536
'69 c10 lwb fleetside six = 3631

'69 c10 swb stepside eight = 3570
'69 c10 swb fleetside eight = 3651
'69 c10 lwb stepside eight = 3643
'69 c10 lwb fleetside eight = 3743

Options would add weight.

That's a shade under 4000lbs subtracting my weight. :P

Of course, my truck does have factory air, power brakes, and power steering...I dunno, does an extra 300lbs sound right when adding on the weight for fluids, power steering, power brakes, A/C, an automatic, and subtracting the weight of a spare and aluminum intake?

*shrug* I need to weigh my truck again.

my 69 long fleet, coil and BB weighed in at 4600, what a fat bugger, but it's got a heavy rear bumper and oak bed so i guess it's tubby. the stickers said 4060 weight from factory... wonder what added 500+ lbs when i only put in new wood.... perhaps an innacurate scale at the dump..

Don't know what mine weighs. A lot less...since a whole bunch of it is off now.

One thing on Andy's GMC...those ponty rat blocks weigh in a bit more than a chevy SB from what I remember.

I thought his GMC has a small-block Chevy in it...wasn't it the Longhorn that had a Pontiac and is getting the Caddy?

My '71 GMC 1500 weighed 2375Kg, or 5225lbs at the weigh scale, but wouldn't really count as I had a load going to the dump!

The GMC does in fact have a Chevy 350... the Longhorn had the Ponticrap and now has the Caddy engine.
