1969 Chevy Blazer curb weight.

Does anyone know the approximate curb weight of this blazer? Not the Max GVW which is 5000.

CK5.com has specs. The numbers for '69 have always been suspect to me because the weight for '70 went up almost 1,000 pounds.

CK5 Specs for 1969

Wasn't the top optional in '69? I know the passenger and rear seats were. All that stuff is heavy.

All were options, but I think they were options in the later years too, especially the rear seat.
