The years of '60 to '72 Heavy GMC Truck VIN's are the hardest to find online for some reason. But the VIN won't tell you the weight of the truck anyway. It should tell you the GVW range though. A picture would be interesting. I tried to get the one you posted to work, but had no luck.

Drive to a rock yard, materials yard, salvage yard, scrap metal yard, MVD station and use their scale.

T60VZ146281 T=Tilt Cab, 6=19,000-45,000 GVW, 0=1970, V=V6 Detroit Diesel, Z= Made in Fremont, 146281=46,281 made. Most of this is just guessing from looking at different vin search websites. Is it diesel?
