Big GMC 4000: Unladen weight?
 

Does anyone have info on these trucks? Just bought this, need to find out the dry weight...

4000 series truck have a GVW of 19500 lbs. the pictures really don' show how long it is, whats the bed made of?

Re: Big GMC 4000: Unladen weight?
 

Hi Jolly the wheelbase is 120, I haven't seen the truck in person so not sure if the box is all steel or not. The GVW lists as 22,000 but I'm trying to find out the empty weight.

Re: Big GMC 4000: Unladen weight?
 

Model L-4000, GVWs range from 15000 to 23000. wheelbases listed are: 97', 109', 133', 145' & 175'. Weights with out box are listed as 6015 to 6450 lbs. What is the frist part vin number that will give us the model LV4003-LV4016. keep in mind Wheelbase for pickups is 115" & 127" this looks longer than a pickup.

I agree, it's longer than 120. Probably just bad info I was given... The VIN is LV4016G10887F. I did verify that the box is all steel.

Re: Big GMC 4000: Unladen weight?
 

Well then here what you got LV4016G10887F,

L = L-model, 72" steel tilt cab
V = Vacuum-Hydraulic Brakes
40 = series 4000
16 = wheelbase, 175"
G = series 1963
10887 = serial number
F = DOT GVW rating.

Thanks Jolly, any guess on the weight of the box?

Re: Big GMC 4000: Unladen weight?
 

NO, your truck being a LV4016, it should be without the box, 6500 lbs.

Re: Big GMC 4000: Unladen weight?
 

My '62 GMC 4000 (Conventional Cab) with a 16 Ft Flatbed (did not Dump) weighed 8000 Lbs Empty. We can only really guess, but I would safely add another 500 to 1000 Lbs to that for the Box. Therefore my best guess would be about 8500 to 9000 Lbs. "BUT" the only true way is to have it weighed at a Certified Public Scale.

Ok thank you guys, that helps. Should be right within the capacity of my 10K pound trailer.
