Hi John,
Is your truck running? If it is you can go to the local land fill and they will give you a weight ticket for it. It may cost $5. Or if you have a local truck stop they may have a scale as well.
If it's not running, maybe one of the folks with a Salesmans Handbook for that year can give you the curb weight. With Aluminum heads and (I'm assuming intake manifold as well) your 460 will weigh about the same as a Y-block. Stock there is about 100 pounds difference. The C6 weighs about 200 pounds (with fluid), so your weight will be around 100-150 pounds more than the stock curb weight.
If you assume a curb weight for a stock 56 F-100 with the 6 cylinder engine to be 3070 lbs, or 3240 lbs with the Y-block, I would venture to say your truck weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 3350-3400 pounds.
Here is a link to another thread that has F-100 Curb weights (post #3).

The county run scales at the dumps and recycling centers are Ca. Certified. I got mine weighed at EDCO. They have garbage transfere stations all over the place. They give you a little card - about the size of a business card and a paper reciept - I think mine was $5.
Your landfill scales up there are all Ca. Certified.

Aha! See you fibbed to us on your original post - you said you had aluminum heads! So the 120 Lbs I was under would have been almost exact with aluminum heads.
Were you in the truck when they weighed it? (there's another 200#).
Also, not to be overly critical, but you may want to be careful publishing tickets like this one that show your address and the type of truck you have. Our posts here can be pulled in google searches by anyone - including pictures of you or your truck if you post them. I'd hate to see you get ripped off!!!!!

Tee hee - 195 even after the Holidays? Just teasing!
I thought we were having a contest. I was looking forward to my "Cupie Doll."
Oh well. Glad youfinally got it weighed and hopefully the DMV will be decent. They seem to be on the rampage lately.
If you have AAA I'd go there instead. If you don't have AAA it might be worth your time saved to join for $47!!!! They have really helped me over the years.
