My question is in your opinion what is this truck worth?
Also to register this truck would cost me $383 a year in Pennsylvania due to it being a Class 6. I would like this to be a lot less considering I won't be using it as a work truck. In my opinion I have two options. 1. I could register it as an antique or classic and no longer use it to Haul. 2. Register it at a lower weight class. But in order to do that I would need to know the vehicle's weight.
So with that being said does anyone have any idea what this truck weighs?

Regarding the "worth" of the 3500, I'm sure everyone has their own opinion. It all boils down to how badly the next owner wants it, and how badly the current owner wants to sell it. You could pay for an "official" appraisal which would get you in the ballpark. My own opinion, considering the rarity, condition, and those awesome wheels and tires would be $5,000.
Here in Oregon I've got all 3 of my GMCs registered as classics. I've been doing that for over 25 years now with all the older vehicles I've owned. None of them have been daily drivers. Legally, I'm only supposed to drive them to shows or in parades, but I've driven them everywhere and never been stopped. I figure the cops have better things to do. It's definitely saved me a lot of money -- so far anyway.
My guesstimate on the weight would be 8000 pounds. Let us know if you find a truck scale to weight it on.
