Re: GCVW... question.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but here goes:

The GVW is the gross vehicle weight (weight of the truck plus what it can carry). You can find that here:

http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs...olet-Truck.pdf

I've attached the '87 info packet to avoid confusion with the '91 GMT400 models. It should be the same for a '91 R/V model.

Now, GCVW normally refers to the Gross "Combined" weight, as in the weight of the truck and pulling a trailer. Is that what you are after? I am not familiar with the CVW as you have stated above.

If that's the case we will have to find a trailering guide, which might take a bit of doing.

Re: GCVW... question.

GCW varies based on powertrain options (engine and rear axle).

Chart is attached below ('87 shown to avoid confusion with the 1991 GMT400 models; '87 V should be the same as '91 V truck).
