A Little Different. Ideas On Actual Weight Of This Truck?

[wirlybird]

HI all,
Been asked to move/trailer this tow truck!
I need to know an actual rough weight on it. Anyone have any idea? Truck is a few hours away so can't go check anything, so I thought to check the Chevy Source here!

Thanks.

Squarebodys ain't as heavy as OBS (mom's 86 c10 is barely 3000 across scales empty). I'd say.... 7500 max? Just rough guess with bed n hydraulics.

I think the better question is what do you have to move it with?

Whats the wrecker body? Holmes, Samson, call'em up get that add a C3500 cab chassis weight you'll be close.

That is what I am trying to determine. I have a couple car haulers, but I think I've only got about a 5000-pound useful load. The truck will fit easily but I think it is going to be a little heavy.

Holmes 440 with lift.

My K2500 is almost at that wt. I'd guess it could easily get 6000. There should be data plates somewhere with upfitted class and weights unless it's home made.

I think you'll be coming up a bit short if you wanna be legit. A pickup like that would have been about 5000# in 4wd form. Subtract 500 or so for the pickup bed and add in what it has.

7500

I'm thinking this is a good estimate.

So far all I can find on the Holmes 440 is a weight of 870 Lbs. this one has the lift also which will add weight.
Looks like an '84 cab/chassis is about 5000 Lbs.
