How much does a 1964 Ford truck weigh?
A 1964 Ford truck typically weighs roughly 3,800 to 5,000 pounds, depending on model and configuration.
Weight varies widely by the F-Series model—F-100 (half-ton), F-250 (3/4-ton), and F-350 (1-ton)—as well as cab and bed lengths, drivetrain (two-wheel or four-wheel drive), and the engine and options installed at factory. The ranges below reflect typical curb weights from that era and common configurations.
Weight ranges by model
The following ranges summarize typical curb weights for 1964 Ford F-Series trucks, based on era specifications and common configurations.
- Ford F-100 (half-ton): typically about 3,800–4,200 lb (1,724–1,907 kg) for 2WD; 4,100–4,600 lb (1,860–2,086 kg) for 4x4 versions.
- Ford F-250 (3/4-ton): typically about 4,000–4,800 lb (1,815–2,177 kg) for 2WD; 4,200–5,200 lb (1,905–2,359 kg) for 4x4 versions.
- Ford F-350 (1-ton): typically about 4,600–5,000 lb (2,087–2,268 kg) for 2WD; 4,900–5,500 lb (2,223–2,497 kg) for 4x4 versions.
Weight figures above reflect typical curb weights and can vary with cab style, bed length, engine choice, and installed options. Exact numbers for a specific truck may differ.
How to verify the exact weight
To determine the precise weight of a particular 1964 Ford truck, consult official sources or measure directly. The following methods help pinpoint the exact figure.
Where to find official specs
Check the door jamb data plate, factory brochures, build sheets, or dealer invoices for curb weight (and GVWR). Vintage owner manuals can also list approximate weights for common configurations.
Practical steps to verify
For the most precise result, weigh the vehicle on a certified scale (public truck scales or weighing facilities) with all fluids and a representative load to mirror typical operating weight. If weighing isn’t feasible, use the closest documented curb weight for the specific model and compare against your truck’s cab/bed configuration and drivetrain to estimate.
Summary
In summary, a 1964 Ford truck’s weight mainly depends on model and configuration. Roughly 3,800–4,200 pounds covers the F-100 in 2WD form, with 4x4 variants heavier; the F-250 generally ranges from about 4,000–4,800 pounds (2WD) and up to 5,200 pounds (4x4); and the F-350 sits around 4,600–5,000 pounds (2WD) or higher with 4x4. For an exact figure, check the data plate or weigh the vehicle on a scale.
