Yes, it is all with the base model GVWR - actual = payload
My Silverado has a 6,200 GVWR - weight ticket 5,160 = 1,040 payload
Back then, 'Silverado', was a trim level (highest) and the model was C10
Today's highest trim will have power door lock, power windows, power
seats and much more insulation. My Silverado has AC, automatic and
instead of cardboard like panels...vinyl covered cardboard like panels
But Nephew and I were in there, so 180 x 2 = 360. Cap is about 300 lbs
360 + 300 = 660. Plus misc tools, coolant, oil, jack, etc of about 60 lbs
660 + 60 = 720
1,040 + 720 = 1,760 payload without the people and 'stuff'
This is for a 1980 C10 'Big Ten' (AKA...1980's HD of it's day)...IF I
had a current 1500 stripper and the 'HD' GVWR of ~7,800...I'd have
several hundred pounds more 'payload'...maybe over 2,400 payload
