65 f-250 curb weight

Hi all, fairly new to site, just bought a 1965 Ford F-250 Camper Spl with a C-6, 352, LB, in Oregon and need to register it in Washington. They want the curb weight and without going to scales I was wondering what web sites might list it? I found one on old rides.com showing 3570. Any suggestions?

Only info available: Shipping weight of 1965 F250 8' Flareside pickup: 3,570 lbs. The only way to get the curb weight would be by having it weighed on a truck scale.

C6 first offered in 1968 F100/350 with 360/390, 1965/67 F100/350 352 came with MX Cruise-O-Matic.

Thanks for the info. I'm told by previous owner that this truck came new with a three speed on the tree and in 66 the owner had the dealer install a c-6 auto.

I have a LWB '66 F100 C/C with 352. (Well, it was a 352 when I bought it.) I bought it in California and the PO was required by the state to have it weighed. It was 4000 pounds. Yours will no doubt be heavier, being a 250 with heavier duty components, and the C6 is pretty heavy. Not the exact number you were looking for, I know, but may be of some help.

C6 introduced in 1966 Lincoln 462, Galaxie/LTD/Thunderbird 428, Mercury 410/428.

Go spend the 5-10 dollars at feed store/elevator,scrap yard because that is what they require. They will not take your guess.

Problem is the truck is not running yet. I did find oldrides.com which call out a curb weight for my truck. Going to DMV tomorrow and see what they say. Thanks.
