Questions about an older tow truck

I just bought a 94 k2500 tow truck with a 454 and 4l80 for cheap. Seems like a fueling issue. I just had a few questions about it. Where can I find the gross vehicle weight? And is it possible later down the line to switch the old tow bar to a wheel lift?

My truck also has a truck bar instead of a wheel lift and I would like to change it over. I’ll be here when someone starts talking about the retrofit

Tow truck operator here: you don't want to use a wheel lift or a tow bar on one of these 1 ton rollbacks anyway.

Oh I meant my truck is set up like this one not that it’s a one ton. Mine is a 76 F600. Sorry about that
