C30 curb weight?

Does anyone know what the curb weight of my truck is? It is a 1983 C30 and it has a 454 and a 4 speed. The reason i want to know is because my friend has some sort of dyno app on his IPhone and supposedly it is pretty accurate but you have to know the weight of the vehicle. I thought it would be cool to try this thing out just for kicks an grins. The best way would be to go weigh the truck but I figured I would ask on here to get a guesstimate.Thanks guys

Should be right around 6000lbs. The only way to get anything other than a guess is to find a truck scale.

If my C-10 is 3850 your C-30 should be around 4350.

LOL, there's a lot more than 500lbs difference between a 1 ton big block dually and a half ton V6. The rear axle alone probably adds more than 500...
