can't help you out with the numbers but a 73-87 is lighter than a newer truck

I remember getting mine weighed when I was doing a "Ditty" move when I was in the Marine Corps...ran it across the scales devoid of fuel - washer fluid etc...( had to get her real light before I loaded her down for the next trip across the scales - you got paid by the lb)
it was 4011 lbs... I prob still have the ticket from the scales in the glovebox...

My '83 2wd shorty is ~3800lbs leaving the dump empty. I don't imagine a longbed being too much heavier.
