     Look in the tech section under GM heritage website, then look up the truck, I believe most of the stats are there for each truck.

I asked the guy at the dump a few years ago to read the scale on my 85 custom deluxe reg cab longbed. My dad was in the passenger side and my tool box was in it. Subtracted those 2 it was right at 4k. 350 with 15x10 alloy wheels.

Oops, i just noticed you said 'k15', nevermind my numbers. sorry.

I looked on the heritage site and it is just shy of 4000 lbs.

A long bed 4x4 is generally 4200lbs depending on options.

Just throwing this in.   

The empty weight of my '74 K10 shortbed (350, SM465 4spd, NP203, D44 front, 12 bolt rear, 7.50x16 bias plys, 16"x 6 lug steel wheels) was 4,000 lbs at the scales. There wasn't much fuel in the tanks and it didn't have the rear bumper.
