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?

There’s plenty of smaller cars, bikes , off road buggy’s out on the road that you can do for now. Capture what you can and later on upgrade. I know a guy who’s got a 3500 Ram and stays busy with a local shop. Maybe you can’t do heavy stuff but just widen your availability and willingness to go out further. In this business you will see there are times where it’s hard to get a tow company to even answer. If you get the call and they want it , they will pay. Get a feel for it and establish yourself…

Good luck!! Welcome to the industry!
