I just got an 87 F250 reg cab long bed 2wd 7.3 zf-5 for parts. It is complete other than no drivers door. It scaled at 5260 with unknown fuel amount.
My 95 F150 reg cab long bed 5.8 weighs 5100 full of gas and toolboxes.

According to an '85 Ford Data book, a base (no options) F250HD 4x4 regular cab has a curb weight of 4358# with the std. 5.8L V8 and T-18 trans. A base truck has next to nothing else and does not even include a second fuel tank. The same data book has the weights of all the options, so get out your calculators:

4358 base truck, plus:

676 diesel option w/4-speed (includes dual 83 AH batteries)
653 diesel option w/automatic (includes dual 83 AH batteries)
186 aux fuel tank (part of 4x4 diesel package but not included in package weight)
96 fuel tank skid plates (part of 4x4 diesel package but not included in package weight)
100 frame mounted spare & carrier (part of 4x4 diesel package but not included in package weight)
56 argent step bumper (part of 4x4 diesel package but not included in package weight)
46 Chrome step bumper
18 XL package
29 XLT Lariat Package
102 AC w/auto trans
75 AC w/manual trans
53 stabilizer bars
39 aux springs
52 suspension package B
5 radio


All that said, my '86 automatic w A/C weighs about 6200# with full tanks but little else but bigger tires (38 gallons of fuel weighs 272#), so the OP's weight sounds in the ballpark to me.

local scale said my truck was about 6K#. that was empty with a cap on the truck, and both tanks about half full.



That was a scrap metal yard, and they have since been investigated and it was found that their scale was off...............imagine that. i bet it was off in their favor to lol.

Nice! My totals add up to 5828, my partner sitting in the truck was about 200Lbs brings it up to 6028, Very close to actual weight. The shell, slider, and 200 Lbs of gear goes back in as soon as I can get it dryed off.
