C-15A and F-15A Vehicle Weights

[Harry Moon]

In B.C. with an antique plate we don't have to worry about the weight or licenced GVW.

Hello Harry,

Thanks for the information. I'm going to assume that my C-15A, with aluminum radio box, is going to be similar, if not less, than your C-15A at 6900lbs. This is still below way below the 9900lb "commercial" limitation. If registered at 8500lbs and it weighs 6900lbs, this would still leave 1600lbs of "dunnage" that could easily be transported.

It would appear that in Ontario, if you can get the "antique" plate for the vehicle, this would also exempt one from CVOR requirement as well. Antique vehicles are usually owned by individuals and are not used for commercial purposes.

Indeed an Antique or Collector plate (separate categories here) cannot be used for commercial purpose.
I wouldn't be to sure about lighter if you have a wireless box like a Wire-5. My floor alone was made up of about 600 lbs. of steel. They are only skinned aluminum.

The Truck, 15 cwt, Wireless is listed in Canada's Fighting Vehicles as having a laden weight of 10,670 pounds. That would be fully equippped with the 2 chorehorses and the radio (with lead-acid batteries). Admittedly this weight is for the steel skinned version and I can't find listings of the weights for the two styles of body or the amount saved by use of aluminum skins but Harry is right that the floor and framework remain steel. The bare 2K1 (aluminum) body remains a fair weight.
