I know this is an impossibly impossible question since I don't even have that many details but...I am looking at an automatic cab and chassis top kick from the 80s. It has an automatic and cat V8 turbo diesel. Its a 33K GVWR truck. I don't need exact just curious if there is a safe range to assume before I put it on a scale. Looks to have 22.5 wheels and tires and its a regular cab GMC top kick. They're so old its really hard to find info on them but this one is pretty clean and without a body we could flat bed it. So around what is the cab and chassis weigh? Thanks
Depends on how long, single or double frame for the most part. 33K GVW suggest a single drive axle. Is there a tag axle installed? If just a C&C with no tag, single frame is about 12K in weight. It could be a little heavier or lighter dependent upon how the chassis is set up.
90 with a 6.6 straight 6 and a 5 speed and a lightish bed is 12K, so I agree the older v8 automatic will be close to that.
I had a 2001 GMC C6500 bobtail Cat 3126 motor 6 speed single axle 26k GVWR with a 10' dump bed. It ran 7.41 tons across the scales.
Wow thanks for the information. I would have guessed cab and chassis is 10K and no more. Looks like 12-14K is appropriate. Pickup trucks are 9-10K these days so I should have guessed.
