That's TWICE what my Corvair weighs. Not too shabby, IMO. I also have to stay off the throttle on dead-starts or the tire will spin. It's very touchy from idle/stop, but great once the truck gets rolling. Seems like the 4.3 engine is about perfect for this little truck.

GVWR is different than curb weight.
A second gen ecsb 4x4 weighs in at 3600lbs. So you're no where near 4900lbs.
