Have you ever heard of a heavy half package from the late 70s? Do some research.
The tag on the door jamb rates the truck 6200 gvwr from the factory. We've also added helper springs in the rear.
On the scales my truck weighs in around 4100.
Do the math.
On a side note, started hauling the smoking wood back to stack at the house. We had a lot of old peach and pear trees, 50 years old or more, get damaged in winter storms (especially the 18"er). The have been dropped and waiting to bring back. Look at the size of the trunk pieces, pretty big for a Pear.
