* Engine: Different engines (e.g., V8s of varying sizes, inline sixes) added considerable weight.
* Drivetrain: 4x2 (two-wheel drive) trucks weighed less than 4x4 (four-wheel drive) versions.
* Options: Features like air conditioning, power steering, and additional equipment all increased the weight.
* Specific trim level: Even within similar configurations, minor trim differences could slightly affect weight.
To find a *close* estimate, you'd need to know the specific engine and drivetrain of the truck in question. Even then, it would be an approximation. Your best bet to find a more accurate weight would be to consult:
* Original brochures or sales literature: These sometimes list curb weights for different configurations.
* A Ford parts catalog from 1977: Similar to brochures, these may provide weight specifications.
* Online forums dedicated to classic Ford trucks: Enthusiasts may have weighed their own trucks and shared the data.
Without that specific information, any weight I provide would be unreliable.
