Hi all - I just bought an original Chev 1951 1-ton and will be picking it up with a trailer to haul home. I have been trying to find out its' empty weight but no luck with the searches either here or on the 'net. I'm hoping that the truck I have (a 1996 Chev 1500 2wd with a Class III hitch and trailer tow package) is up to the job, so that I can avoid imposing on friends with bigger trucks for the 1,100 mile round-trip across the Canadian prairie. I had assumed the 1951 would weigh about 3,100 pounds, but that may be too optimistic. Does anyone have this info at hand?

Thanks,

Mark
