Re: How much does it weigh?

Nope. C10 (8ft fleet) weight for 1971 is 3605 lbs, and the C20 is 386 lbs heavier.

Here's a source for you:http://www.oldride.com/library/1971_chevrolet_c10.html

The perception that trucks are piggish, overweight brutes is only a result of the past two (maybe three) generations of American vehicles which, due to incessant government nannying, are increasingly heavy and plain huge. Ours, however, ain't that way.
