The best would be to go get your truck weighed at a scale somewhere, that weigh you know what your truck actually weighs, since there are many variables. Make sure you are in it when you get it weighed, or just add your weight to the weight of the truck for your race weight.

For what it's worth, my 79 F150 2wd 351w/C6 longbox weighed about 4200 lbs with driver on the scale at the scrapyard.
