Truck weight

I've looked everywhere I can think of but can't find an answer. Does anyone know what the curb weight of a 53 f-100 is? I realize that this can change drastically depending on different engines, trannies, suspensions, and all the other mods we make to these trucks. But if anyone knows the stock weight or even the weight of your own truck it would at least give me a start. Thanks

Interesting note...
I was looking for an answer to another post about height.. and found a stat saying that the V8 adds 85# over the six cylinder....

I'm always amazed at how much I don't know....

The "unlaiden" weight for my 55 F100 is 3,220 lbs.

That's what it reads on my registration.

When I registered my 54 F-100 in Washington State, they required I give them the weight. Took it to a scale and it came in at 3,162 lbs.
