Mongo -- For what it's worth, my '65 GMC 4000 tanker weighs 11500 lbs empty (without hoses or fittings). Add 1,000 gallons of water and it weighs in at 19,500 -- which just so happens to be it's max gross weight.
So if the same logic applies to that truck, figure out the tank capacity (gallons) and what that amount of gas/oil weighs, subtract it from the vehicle's GVW (add in a couple hundred pounds for loose equipment) and you probably have a close guess as to the truck's empty weight.
Might give you a ball park estimate.
You'd probably want to move the truck complete -- I bet that body won't want to come off without a struggle! And it will be heavy, too.
Looks like a very cool truck! You don't see too many of the original tanker bodies restored, but those that are are very cool and interesting. It would be quite the rig to haul water with!
2 thumbs up for that one!
