How much does it weigh? Need help
Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could tell me the approximat weight of a 1970's Gmc c5500 I don't believe I need a cdl, but I might need a medical card depending on how much it weighs. There's no way I can get it to a scale either, I don't own it yet. Any help is appreciated
I believe it is a 72 but not sure |

What is the CA (Cab to Axle) Length and what kind of Bed is on it?
Also would you know the GVW?

I'm not near it at the moment to measure the cab to axle length, but it is just a 12' flatbed on it now. the gvwr reads 16000-24000 on the metal ID tag hope that helps.

Re: How much does it weigh? Need help
If the GVW is actually 24,000, I'm going to guess at the weight of the truck with a 12 Ft Flatbed and empty at about 10,000 Lbs.
For comparison, I had a '62 GMC 4000 with a 16 Ft Flatbed and a GVW of 19,500 and it weighed 8,000 empty. I also had a '62 GMC 6500 with a 16 Ft Flatbed Dump and a GVW of 32,000 and it weighed about 12,500 empty.
