The 767 had a large range of attitudes for takeoff - rule of thumb was 30 - GW in T gave a good target. Ie at MTOW of about 180T (kg) you aimed for 12 degrees nose up. At lighter domestic weights of say 120T you would aim for about 18 degrees nose up.

Thanks for the help. A reference(or quote from the manual) would be of great assistance.
