How much does a 69 stepside weigh?

Zio · December 18, 2002

Hey guys I was looking to build a 67-69 camaro, but i came across a good deal on a 69 stepside that I am going to build. I planned on putting an LT1 with a 6speed in the camaro and i plan on doing that in the truck too. I am just wondering how much the truck would weigh with this setup. Also what is it going to take to get this thing in the mid 12's (hp/tq)?

thanks

I'm using a very old and rusty part of my brain...but I believe the GVWR of my dad's 1970 C-10 Long Bed, Custom Deluxe, Camper Special with 350 V-8 and TH-350 trans was 5,000#. That would seem to indicate that it weighed 4,000 or even less empty.

You're the one that has the truck...go look at the weight sticker on the door pillar.

As a last resort consider putting the truck on a scale to find out how much it weighs.

What I'm trying to say is....How the &^*% am I s'posed to know how much your truck weighs? ???

Sounds like a fun project though! :thumb:
