I have a '79 F150 regular cab long bed. The actual measured weight of the empty truck is 4,180lbs. Mine has a 302/C6 combo and I've been told a 302 weighs 475lbs. Somebody correct me on the engine weight if that is wrong. That should get you in the ballpark.

My 77 std cab long bed 2wd with a 460/C6 weighs 4480lbs. So without the 460, I would guess about 3900lbs.

Weird how that works eh well thanks again for the help kind of confusing and ironic that these are called 1/2 tons but are actually more than half a ton just like my dad said they where actually made out of something back then.....

all the new trucks weigh more really, because they are "loaded" look at all the things that come in newer trucks and look how simple ours are
and dont they use heavier frames now a days?

The new F-150s weight about 3 tons, which is far from light.
They don't have more metal, but the frame is alot bigger(it's fully boxed in), compaired to the c channel frame on our trucks. The rear axle in the 1/2 ton in 9 3/4" and in ours it's 9", and all the options they have add up.
The 97-03 models didn't rearly weight 3 tons though, just the 04-06s really packed on the weight.
