rcsb here in 2008 with my single turbo setup with stock brakes and 1/4 tank of fuel weighed in at 4640 with street wheels on and i at the time was 175lbs

2012 truck with me 4760 with the twin setup...i was 200lbs in 2012, 14" rotors, full dual 3" exhaust, leather seats, tonneau cover


so a rcsb can be heavy just all depends on options, a LS truck was heavier then a silverado package back then

 

Maybe I should have been clear. I was saying that it wouldn't weight 4600 without driver. The early reg cabs were very light, like around 4100-4200 lbs.

 

My 2001 when I bought it in 05 I weighed it without me in it was 4350 without me in it. And it was 100% stock and it was Silverado not a ls package rubber floors crank windows and steel wheels and all it had that was good to me was the 5.3 and posi lol

 

99-00 had the lightest based on frame design

Silverado package was the lightest
LS has typically was fully loaded

Stsrt of 03 added more weight from Data bus and DBC then the option of LT package....bigger brakes along with drum rears....bigger wheels

 

tuning and more boost i was on 10lbs when i ran a 11.4 14lbs now with the 10.4

yeah I'm still kinda in shock my truck is so light i was also wondering if the scale at the track was fucked up

well I'm 5-3 150lbs so with me out of the truck full weight with 3/4 tank of gas is 4450

 

I've always wondered about the scale to scale accuracy. Some of the weights posted are so deviant I have to question it.

 

I've found this site to be pretty useful.

Used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | Pre Owned Used Chevy Silverado 1500 Models at IntelliChoice.com

Can't really verify its accuracy, but it seems to be the most comprehensive site I've come across. Says my current truck's curb weight is 4508. But it says the upscaled models are also the same weight

 

Before I did any suspension mods on mine it was 4710 ready to race with me in it. If I remember right, I think it was running 11.40's around 120 mph at that time. I was able to shed a little weight when I did the 4/6 drop, 5 lug conversion and other small things. It ultimately weighed 4550 ready to race with me in it when it ran its best. I do remember that a few weeks before it ran 10.46 @ 126, I had it running 10.90's @ 126. I don't have the log anymore, but the it flung the water pump pulley off of it on the 10.46 pass and I remember this being the reason it only trapped 126 again. For the life of me, I can not remember where on the track the belt came off of it. I wanna say it was around 1000' but I really don't remember.

This does have me intrigued though, so I have been grinding numbers through the old calculator. At 4175 lbs, I'm thinking my truck would have run somewhere around 10.teens and 132 mph.

**** man, I want another truck now. lol

 

I've got a roll pan fuel cell 20 gallon ditched the rear spare tire tubular trans crossmember rear crossmember were the spare was I cut out I guess all the little things matter

 

each crossmember cut out is roughly 25lbs from when i weighed them
