    If you are going to make it a single axle truck it would be about 2000 Lbs. Lighter than the door plate reads, or 17,000 to 18,000 Lbs. Sitting on a scale?

    Not on the scales, i bought a parts truck, no hood,radiator, front bumper, or rear axles, i want to tow it as a goose neck trailer (gooseneck welded to the frame), i have a 92 chevy one ton dually to pull it with. I have seen alot of heavy loads pulled by one ton dually's. Been told 8 to 10 by one person....

    14500-18900 as a complete running truck going from memory on trucks i have owned. 14500 was light spec aluminum frame 18900 is heavy spec all the way around. Going to be at least 4000 lbs less with rears removed and most of the weight is at the front.
    I wouldn’t be concerned with what you plan to do most decent deck over tandem dually gooseneck trailers weight around 7000 empty.
    I say go for it!
