My 70 GMC C2500 weighed 5250# with me in it at the metal place. I'm 180#. It was an 8' big block truck with disc conversion and figure a couple of hundred pounds in the aluminum tool box. Power steering and factory air. Also had class IV receiver hitch, 10" sub and amp under the seat as well as a rubber bed mat. It all adds up. My truck was a 7500/7500 truck. (7500 GVW as equipped with 7500 being max for the platform.) I've had 3 different '70 GMC 2500's. Small block 4 speed Longhorn was a 6600/7500 truck and six cylinder 3 speed stepside was a 6200/7500 truck. GVW has nothing to do with how much it actually weighs, but how much the total combined truck and load should be for the truck as it is equipped.
