I think you're right, and thats what George said, just the cab and chasis is the way it went to Champion, and the sticker says 7900 gvw, George said it probably weighs about 6500, I'll go weigh this thing soon, but I can tell you this ... I done a complete brake job on it today, with master cyl, calipers, wheel cyl's and all, I'll bet the rear brake drums weigh 40lb each and another 40 for the tires, those suckers are Heavy, but we got brakes for sure, for a Long time.
