Re: truck weight
My C-10 shop truck, the J.T., is a swb, 5.3l auto, no a/c weighs in at 3685 lbs. The iterior is pretty sparce, so I'd guess most drivers are close to 3700 lbs. If GVW is 5000, that leaves 1300 avail, 300 for driver/pass, and 1000 (1/2 ton) payload.

It will carry it but it will not like it, get trailer and watch how you load it. 1/2 ton means 1000 lbs of payload, 3/4 ton 1500 lbs, 1 ton 2000 lbs...you need a bigger truck.......so use a trailer and you will not tear anything up. Kieth
