How Much Does My Truck Weigh?
 

I sold the engine and tranny out of my 79, and was just wondering roughly how much it now weighs without them. The truck is a 79 GMC C35 single rear wheel "Camper Special".

The 86 C20 I have was around 6000-6500 lbs before I yanked the drivetrain. It too is a camper special.

Father in laws 04 Duramax 4x4 is 7700lbs empty!

Since I just hauled a load of scrap to the junk yard with my 1986 C10, and I have a weight slip in my hands that when you deduct the passenger weight plus fuel and some stuff behind/under the seat my truck weights about 3850 pounds.

Now tell me how a C20 can weight up to 2650 more. Yes the frame is bigger, plus the rear end and tires and wheels but not to the tune of one ton plus.

I'm also astounded at 6000-6500 lbs for a C20. Judging by the original literature I have read and the options on the truck I am estimating my C35 weighed somewhere in the 4200 lbs range before the engine and tranny were pulled.

Maybe a Crew Cab, Dually, 4x4 truck would weigh 5000-6000lb, but a 2wd regular cab longbed SRW 1 ton truck ? Probably 4500 or so.

I pulled the 454/th400 out of the 74 GMC 3/4 ton I had and scrapped it . 3300 pounds without wheels/tires and tank empty . I left the gas tank on it . Frank

My SWB 84 weighs in at around 3950# with all installed, so the weight of a motor and tranny is going to lighten it about 600#.
