Re: 1957 clf curb weight
Go to the manual site in my signature. You will land on a 56 truck page. Scroll down to the 56 index tab and click. Find the page that has the truck weight specs listed by model. I can't remember if it gives a weight for the separate stake bed. 57 will be close enough in weight.
