Many years ago when I had my '50, I took it to the dump with a load. They weighed it after, and it was about 3000 lbs. The only mod that had been done to it, was a 292 engine. Sorry I don't remember the exact weight, this was about 30 years ago.
 
I figured it was worth the $10 just to know. I wish I still had race scales. I bet the distribution is horrible.
 
My '52 GMC 150 (3/4 ton) flat bed weighs 3840 with a full tank of gas. Luckily, my fat body wasn't in it at the time.
 
weight distribution

It IS horrible (well, it is a truck afterall)

I "in-process" weighed Penny on race scales the other day.

At the time she did have:
rolling S10 frame with suspension and brakes
Colorado 8" rear
all sheet-metal except tailgate
complete iron-block 5.3L and 4L60E
stock radiator
steel wheels and tires

She didn't have:
bumpers
running boards
driveshaft
interior
glass
tailgate
lights, wiring, battery

2,545 lbs total. 1525 front, 1017 rear.

so, 60/40 distribution
