How much do our trucks weigh?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Zilverado* · 11-21-2002, 01:23 AM

So that's the question.

How much should the truck in my sig weigh? Is there some info on the truck somewhere (VIN??) that would tell me?

Thanks

Mine is an 84 and weighs 3900. So yours should be close to there.

yours will weigh quite a bit more than 3900, being that its a lwb and has heavy duty supension. also a/c will add quite a bit of weight.

Ryan, or anyone.

Do you know how much the entire A/C unit, condenser, pump, hoses, etc... will wiegh down the truck?

My a/c setup looks very similar to some i've seen on full size trucks, so i'm sure it is the same.

Anyone know?

When I went to the dump a while back getting rid of stuff they weighed mine in and out. Looks like close to 5000 on mine.

mine is 3960 with me out of it.

mine weighs just over 4 g's. thats witha big iron toolbox in the back and 2 tanks of gas. its a shortbed, no ac. i dont remember the exact weight though, it was a while ago when i weighed it. i can get an exact weight if someone really wants it, as we have a scale at work

I had two of my trucks weighed pretty accurately a while back for a military move.

My 84 K10 short wide was 4400
and my 86 C10 long bed was 4300
both with me out, 1/4 tank on one tank, other empty.

Both are silverado trucks with A/C

How can it be that 2 feet worth of bed and frame (on the long bed) weigh as much as a front axle and transfer case and driveshaft etc? Ida thought it would be much different...

I dunno, that's just how it worked out. One other thing, the 86 C10 Longbed had a spare tire under the bed. The K10 had it taken out (it normally rides IN the bed.)

Mines just over 7200# empty! With a 454 , the MPG sucks but it pretty much does anything I need it to!

I just posted "over" here for the 1st time.... been on the 67-72 side and thought Id see "whazzup" in the 73-87 stuff. Quite a few posts! Will probably be back!
