Does anybody know how much a 1968 2wd shortbed crew cab weighs with a 390? Im going to be towing it with my single cab F250 bump.

6000 give or take, just a guess.

I would guess right around 5000 maybe a little under.

My crew highboy weighs in at app. 5400lbs empty according to the scale at the scrap yard, so you can bet it's a few hundred lower than that. I think madmax is pretty close.

According to the certified cat scales at the local truck stop, my 72 2wd crew weighs 5440. Thats with a full tank of gas in the in-cab tank, and with a spare wheel/tire and a small tool box in the bed.
