Ok, I'm gonna start building myself a 2nd welding truck. I think I found what I want BUT....It's a 97 cc, 4x4, 1 ton; so I don't have to go commercial I need to keep my rig under 10,001 pounds. I know what the sticker on the door says for the GVWR, but I'm trying to find out exactly how much does one of these weighs?? Any help is appreciated or least point me in the direction to find it. Thanks

With me and a kiddo in the cab, 1/2 tank or less of fuel I believe my 96 tipped the scales at 7200-7300, which would mean 7000-7100 roughly for the truck.

So then with 2000 lbs worth of tools, bottles, and welder, I should be alright then. My other weldin rig is a 93 Dodge 250 and it tips the scales at 9890 fully fueled. Thanks for the info superduty!!
