So I have a 1940 big bolt with a 12 foot flatbed, wood bed with just an outer ring of steel.
How much approximately should it weigh? I can get classic plates for it if it’s less than 8k.

Interesting link. The curb weight would be 3665 as a can and chassis. With the 12x7.5 ft wood and steel bed it would be more. The old title stated it’s weight as 4985.
