Shipping weights moved up by about 100# by 1972 but there weren't any C or K trucks approaching those weights.
Guess the guy who weighed your truck had his thumb on the scale or you were out by the Unicorn corral where they parked all of those 454 powered trucks with the 700R4 transmissions..

Those shipping weights are based on 6 cyl, 3 spd, very low optioned trucks dry with no fluids. V8's, auto trans, and all other options add weight.
A big block fully dressed with pulleys, iron intake, manifolds, brackets, and the A/C set-up that most of them have weighs about 300# more than a stock250 6 cyl. A TH400 weighs around 20# more than a TH350 (wet) and a TH350 weighs about 20# more than PG.
