4,700-lbs is what my 1971 Chrysler Newport with driver and full fuel weighed. The comparable Dodge Police Pursuit with V8 440 weighed somewhat more with necessary equipment and ran a 14.0 flat at 107 in the 1969 Michigan Police Trials.
4700 these days isn't heavy. A four door V6 Jeep Wrangler weighs that much without driver.
4000-lbs and 120" wheelbase are where "size" taper off the safety curve. More isn't necessarily better, but less is a greater risk.
Amazing to me that this kind of weight isn't the penalty it once was.
Sharp truck. 1966 across the board is my favorite model year, any brand.
