Re: how much does it weigh
Yeah a bit of a sketchy question. Measuring for a driveshaft I would think your filling out a tech sheet and the want the entire vehicle weight???? I believe the 47-54 short box 1/2 ton pickup just over 3000 pounds, but like Orrie said,, the bed and wood alone is probably in the <500 pound range.

Re: how much does it weigh
I figured he wanted to add weight to the frame so it was compressed to measure the length, should be shorter than unloaded.
