[gareth]

thank's Chris, If I say it will weigh 3000 kg, do you think that would be about right?

Had my C15 and C15A over the weigh station for rego. The C15 came in at 2500Kgs, the C15A was right on 2900Kgs, removed all the loose bits and little fuel.

I weighed mine locally a couple years ago. 7100 pounds with me in it a 2 full tanks. A ton or so less without driver I would think.

For those who may wish to know, got my truck weighed yesterday. 2680kg with one full tank and no driver.

... thanks for that information. Good to know. This means that I won't have to reduce the load capacity in order to register my truck legally here in Switzerland.

2'680 + 750 loading capacity = 3'430 kg total weight => slightly under 3,5 t

Greetings

My Book Third edition of the Ford Special Vehicles states on page 220;
Nett weight, cab and chassis fuel,oil, and water, is 4776lb. Then you have to add the weight of the body, and the weight of the original one was 745lb.(many of the back bodies were built locally after shipping, and so will vary)
Thats a total of 5521lb.= 2509kg.
While I'm here the book gives your axle ratio as 6.67:1 (F15a = 6.5:1 = slightly faster on the road) and your tyres should be 900x16.
Interestingly the tyre pressures are suppost to be front 14lb, and rear 24lb. these pressures are for a full rated load on road (Canada only) Cross country they reccommend,10lb front, and 16lb rear. If the truck is used cross country with no load the rear tyre pressures should be deflated to the same as the front ie 10lb.
