You'd be surprised how much weight the extended cab adds to the truck. I too have a 93 extended cab with a GVWR of 6050#. And like jnewkirk have recently been to the scales to drop a load. The truck with me in it (170#), a few tools (30#), and a fiberglass top (200#) was 5160 lbs. So with one tank full it's sitting at 4750# curb weight. Pull that from the 6050# GVWR and your looking at 1300#. I've got the 5.0 V8 with E4OD 2WD set up.
So, you're pretty close.
