47-53 truck weight

I'm building a hot rodded 49 with an iron headed sbc. Has an IFS and 12 bolt rear. Haven't got it on the scales yet and was curious if anybody has weighed their truck. Thanks, Brad

Re: 47-53 truck weight

I think that the last time I weighed my 48 it was right around 3500 lbs but that may be a bit heavy.
I'd guess between 3000 and 3500 should be pretty close.
