Factory shipping weight for a 1967 F250 2WD Styleside pickup with a 240/300 I-6: 3,675 lbs.
I don't have the figure for the 352, which prolly weighs 300 additional lbs. over the I-6's.
Shipping a vehicle on an open transporter is cheaper than one that is enclosed.
January 2004, I had a 1963 Galaxie I bought on ebay (car had 14,000 actual miles) shipped by Passport Transport (in an enclosed car hauler) from NY to CA. Cost: $2200.00.
October 2005, I sold a 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk to a fellow in MA. He had it shipped on an open carrier (CA to MA). Cost: $700.00.
Today, those figures would be much higher.

Please expound, I don't understand. You might ship fluidless for one weight, but what is different to vary that much.
The OP is going to be charged curb weight to ship his truck, right??

The parts catalog only lists shipping weight for certain vehicles, not curb weight. Back then new trucks coming off the assembly line only came with 2 gallons of fuel.
What does a gallon of gas weigh...8 lbs?
Does this '67 truck have only have the 18 gallon in-cab fuel tank, or does it have the factory optional 25 gallon auxillary tank as well?
And...all the rear bumpers, the spare tire...and the wheel were all options. My guess is, the shipping weight excluded these items.

GVW actually refers to this = the Gross Vehicle Weight RATING.
A 1972 F100 2WD with MODEL codes of F100, F170, F171 have a Gross Vehicle Weight RATING of 4,450 lbs.
A 1972 F100 2WD with MODEL codes of F102, F103 have a Gross Vehicle Weight RATING of 5,000 lbs.
Rating refers to the amount of weight a vehicle can safely carry. This includes the actual weight of the truck, any passengers and cargo.
The GVW is stamped on the Warranty Plate, this warning is printed on the Warranty Plate:
WARRANTY VOID IF MAX GVW EXCEEDED.
btw: There were other GVW's for 1972 F100 2WD's besides the above: 4,200 lbs / 4,800 lbs. / 5,500 lbs.

Bill, I'm pretty aware of what GVW is - I had over 50 trucks in my roofing business - GVW is the weight of the vehicle fully loaded. If you look more closely at the statement, it says a certain GVW WITH a payload of XXX. Subtracting the payload noted, puts the vehicle TARE weight at approx. 3500 lbs.
Seems to me that's pretty close to the numbers you quoted above.

You forgot the rear bumper...which I assume Bobby's truck now has.
The only mirror that came with these trucks was the el cheapo passenger car mirror (C7AZ17696A) that was standard equipment.
It was not installed at the factory, it was placed in a box and stuck inside the cab somewhere at the final assembly line.
The dealers installed all the various outside mirrors. And...since next to no one wanted the el cheapo mirror, if Ford had installed it, and if the customer wanted something else, the holes would have to be filled in and the door repainted.
1000's of those el cheapo mirrors ended up in the dealers trash cans, I personally threw away dozens. Today, it's repopped and hyped as the Sport Mirror by several repop parts sellers.

Um....half a tank is about 9.5 gallons, by your 150 lb. estimate that would put gasoline at approx. 16 lbs. per gallon. Gasoline weighs 6 1/4 lbs. per gallon. That makes my short bed about 3850 lbs.
The O.P. was asking about long bed weight so I'm sure the long bed weighs a little more than my short bed.
I had about a 100 lb. rear bumper at the time.

That makes my short bed about 3850 lbs. - still close enough for "gov't" work - - OR - a freight carrier/transporter
