Depending on motor and bed, you're looking at about 3850 - 4000 pounds.
Nadine weighed 3840 on the scale with a 390 and styleside bed. But she's a straight axle truck and the 65-66 have a big crossmember under them so add a couple of hundred pounds and you get the 4000 mark I mentioned.
Good luck and welcome to the club if you haven't already been greeted.

Sometimes, it waries alot! sometimes they look up the engine cast nr. sometimes a dyno paper is needed.
There is also a rule of 15kw/100kg for rebuild cars (chanced brake system, changed engine and transmission and so on.)

The strange thing is that i whent to the auto inspection last year and tried to registrate it they said i cant have over 147kw (199,97hp).... but the f100 -65 came with the 352 that year and that makes what, like 260hp?

I agree with "Lefty" but pull 2 spark plug wires so when they go to inspect/dyno it you will have half the horse power it's suppose to have. or even better paint 2 of the dizzy's contactors with clear paint. There's lots of way to de tune a engine for inspections, then return it to normal after wards. LMAO
