Sounds about right. I could dig up a scale ticket and check the tare, but I think that is right.

Mine weighs 2620 with a SBC, 9" and a four point cage. So it sounds about right.

It's for reg fees here in Ca. The lighter you are the less you pay. Yours is on the light side. Mine with full tank weighed in @2700 lbs accordin to the wt cert from a truck stop. 2490 is curb wt. for a 75 truck accoding to LUV.com- http://www.luvtruck.com/PDF/LUV_Demension.pdf
My truck has air condition and a tool box I should have took out so I fig that's part of the difference in wt for mine.

I weighed my front end then weighed the rear and they added up to 2820, Probably not the best way to weigh it but that's all I have right now. And that's with stock windows and no roll bar yet(Think lexan will help that much for the trouble).
