1953 F350 curbweight?

Any idea what the curbweight is for a single rear wheel 1953 F350?

Found a 53 350 with V8 that looks pretty straight. Been sitting for 25 years (Ran when parked ) LOL
I'm assuming its around 4000 LBS, but want to confirm that I don't need a bigger tow rig since it's 6 hours away.

My '89 F350 extended cab tipped the scales at the gravel yard 5920 lbs empty the other day. I'm guessing the older ones would be in the same range (or heavier even).

This is the best picture I have of it at the moment. Looks pretty decent, for $500 it's good enough.
