My one K-7 with just a stake bed (steel bed) weighs just shy of 8K. My other K with oil field bed weighs about 11K
The chassis cab only weighs 5400 no way that dump bed setup is 5k
With the 180 being similar in spec's (engine, trans rear axle and GVW) to the K series, I think 5.4K would be light. The values I gave on the K's are actual weights weighed on multiple scales, all agree.
A all steel dump with steel sides and hydraulics are going to weigh, and if it uses a scissor type lift, there is the sub-frame.
If you get it home, I'd be interested on what it weighs out at.
When I was buying old trucks, I was fortunate, I owned my own flatbed trucking company, and all I needed was a dock or to pay a tow truck to lift it up onto my flatbed to bring it home. I must admit, I spent more money doing that kind of trucking than I should have. I would get a paying load outbound and try and fill the trailer with partial loads coming back, but it still cost me.
