Man my 81 3/4 is a light weight at 5200lbs, but with the 60 front and 10.25 that weight might jump up a bit, but i'm going to be hacking the interior up even more, and if i get my way the bed will be toast within a month into the season this year . but i personally like my flareside at its wet weight of 3750lbs .

Dang thats a heavy pig! Heck, even with all the stuff I've done to my truck it only weighs 6k. What do those things weigh stock? The topper must weigh more than I thought it did.

I have seen weights from 4700 bone stock to 5300 optioned out from the factory.

figure I have around 1700lbs or so just in unsprung weight from the rims/tires/axles.

Yeah that thing is freakin heavy. My 70 F-250 weighed 5350 when i weighed it and that was with me and a buddy in it. That was BEFORE i gutted the interior and put in the 460. Not sure what it weighs now but it should be quite a bit less. I think i'm gonna lose the doors too come race season.

y'all have lousy test taking skills...when in doubt, choose the highest number (it's like choosing "D - all of the above" on a test).

I chose 7000 because all of the others were lightweights for jopes (well...jopey on this board) league.

Cool video by the way.

Pro , not sure what the top weighs, but it can't be more than a couple of hundred pounds. I used to take mine off by myself. Not easy but doable.

I don't get it. My truck only weighs 7K now and will drop a bit of weight when I get the aluminum heads on and the disc brake rear axle. My 44's on beadlocks weigh just shy of 200lbs each, so figure about 800 pounds of that is wheel and tire. I also have a whole toolbox full of crap too. What are you carrying for spares Jopey???
