Well, heres a little more on my comparison. What I asked was what would my 1934 truck weigh ? I can assure you that with what I have now, is way lighter that the posted weight. Weight will be about 2900 pounds, not 4400. And, I am keeping it pretty much stock on the wood thing, just like factory. But, The Merc 410 instead of the 6 cylinder. C6 trans, instead of the old stick they had.

The new 1934 Chevrolet Series DB Master Commercial truck line was completely revised. For the first time trucks featured a unique appearance, no longer did they share front end sheet metal with autos. The half-ton trucks' wheelbase was stretched to 112-inches. Its frame was entirely new, heavier and stronger than the passenger car frames of the past. Subsequently, its GVW rating increased to 4400 pounds from 4100 pounds. Horsepower increased to 60 at 3000 rpm from 56 at 2750 but maximum torque was unchanged. Body offerings remained at four--canopy, panel, pickup, and sedan delivery.
