Slick 60's

I am always curious what different option packages, or modifications do to change the weight of one of these trucks and I was spurred by NeZ_F100's thread to see if we could get a list of those who have weighed thier trucks and the style and options of said trucks.

I haven't had mine on the scales yet, but being a '62 223 3spd flareside with no options, I can't imagine it's too far over 3700lbs, can anyone confirm?

I will try and put mine on the scales tonight for ya.... I have been curious myself.

I would think that would be a pretty light truck, especially with the 302/t5 swap.

my 66 custom cab 2x4 came in at 4400lbs. My dads 66 4x4 came in at 4700lbs both trucks only had about 1/4 tank of feul

65 Short F-100
352

1/2 tank gas

It seems like it is when I roll it in and out of the shop. I was'nt able to scale it last night, and Im headed out of town tonight or in the morning. But, I will do it when I get back.

No kidding, that is nice for a 352 truck. Mine might be lighter than I thought.

I had aggie on the scale at the scrap yard right after I did the engine swap...

4460 if I recall right ('63 Flareside, 390, C6, Big ugly 2x8 channel front bumper, big horrible rear bumper, steel plate bed floor, spare tire, small toolbox)

SO YEAH, with all that other SHITE in/on her, it probably doesnt mean much to ya....
