Hi Kevin,
Do you have a model # off the door tag or hood trim?? Iff you're looking
for a ball park figure try 5000 - 5500 lbs curb weight.
I have the 53 packet from GM and there is quite a difference between some
of the models. My 2 ton COE (5703) is listed with a curb weight of 4905lbs.
A 2 ton platform (6108) is listed at 5275 lbs and (6109) stake truck 5510 lbs.
Still listed as a 2 ton the mod 6408 is 5480 lbs and a 6409 is 5810 lbs.
The XX08 models are the flat beds and it appears the XX09's are with stakes,
which I presume accounts for the additional weight. The higher the numbers
indicates a longer wheel base, thus more frame, more weight.
