Hey guys i was wondering how much my truck weights and i dont know were to go it is a 1966 chevy c-10 with a v8 oh its also a 1/2ton if you didnt know. Thanks in advance.

there's only one answer to that question. that would be: A LOT.

Those old trucks weight like 4000+ lbs.

I saw on a Chevy Truck website that in 1960 they increased the weight of their 1/2 ton trucks from 5,000 to 5,200 lbs. Although if I was using this number to calculate max towing capacity, I would probably hit a truck stop and throw it on the scales to be sure...

Hey guys i have put up the truck for a while and i have moved to the car my friend has a 1985 Mustang 5.0 lx I can not find an a exact weight for the car does any one know how much it weights . Thanks

Truck 36-3800 approx., car 2300 give or take.

I did not do the math, but I would say the average reported weight for a mid 80's LX is around 3,000LB.

Right on the money.

KBB shows 2,691 for an '86.

My '83 convertible with a 351 Windsor, aluminum heads and intake, and a 5 speed weighed 3,140 wet weight going across the scale at the drag strip.......

So i can say that my friends 85 mustang 5.0 lx coupe like weights really close to 2690 i mean the front sway bar has been taken off and the blower assembly has been taken off and the ac/heater also ac delete kit that has been done. We are also going to get one of those smog pump delete kit also a rear seat delete kit.

No, I don't think you can. Did you read the other replys? If hundreds of owners are reporting a weight of 2900+lbs, which do you think is more credible?

I still think 2690 after yoru edit is a little much. in the 2k's is reasonable with a lot of stripping, but the majority of the weight comes from frame material and all that sheetmetal.

Right around 3100 lbs, depending on body style.

Thats very true but i think that it at least weights 3000 lbs i can at least say that it weights 2990 with the stuff that i have taken off of it and i can say it will weight even less cause of the rest of the stuff i'm taking off of it. Fiberglass hood is coming next week and then fiberglass trunk will come after that and i have a full set of weld drag lights coming, well i have the rear set but not the fronts. Yes it is also true that i was looking for stock weight to see if i could figure out what it weights now so i'm looking at at least 2900+.

It is an 1985 Mustang 5.0 LX (coupe) not a hatchback.
