1981 F350 Weight?
I just picked up a 1981 F350 4x4 regular cab with a 400 and a 4 speed. Does anyone know how much this thing weighs or where I can find out?

The closest I can think of is 15 miles. That's a little more doable. I thought I might be able to find the weight online somewhere but no such luck so far.

Thanks shark racer. I bet mine is a little lighter than yours since I have the 400 rather than a 460.
