Welcome to the site :)

If you want to know what your truck weighs you'll have to drive it on a scale.
If you want a ball park you'll have to be more specific about your rig

if i wasn't 1500 miles away from it, i would drive it on a scale.
it is a 73 half ton, two wheel drive, straight 6, w/ 4spd manual, long bed-as bare bones as they came.
the reason i am looking for the weight as i will be pulling it to tx on a trailer all the way from north dakota.
i know the gvwr is around 6200, so i imagine the curb weight is probably around 3500-4000???

It looks like his truck is in North Dakota and he is in Texas !
What type trailer and truck are you planing to use ?
I've hauled a 3/4 ton LWB on my 16' 4000lb trailer, with my 1/2ton 97 Chevy. But I would not want to make that trip
with my set up. A 3/4ton truck would be the least I would want to use.
A rental cube van and trailer might be worth looking into. (uhaul, pensky.......)
