Need help… weight of 1967 C-40 as pictured

[Stained Soul]

Hey guys,
I just purchased this 1967 C-40

Need to know about what it's weight is as pictured ?
Google Fu only give me weight capacity of hauling, not actual truck weight.



Trying to figure out if my 18' tandem axle car trailer will haul it.

Thanks,
Stu

Depends on your trailer capacity, I brought my '42 1.5 ton dump home on a 12,000# tilt trailer. Yours being bedless should be under 5000#. What type of trailer do you got?

[Stained Soul]

Were going to use my buddies trailer that he hauls with.
My car trailer won't work, just to much bulk.

My '61 must be pretty close in size and weight....
I had it shipped up from NC. The guy said it weighed in at about 6500lbs cab and chassis.

My buddy calls me last night and says lets go tomorrow.
So I text & call the owner multiple times and we are good to go.
I tell him we will be there between 10:00 & 11:00.
We get there at 10:20
Seller pulls a no show, I drive 4 hours one way, I sent 2 text, called twice, and knocked on his door.
Not F'n impressed.

If you haven't payed yet, I'd consider them lowering the price to take into consideration lost job time(assuming you had to take time off from work), and gas, expenses, etc.

Just a thought.

Ditto that, I got riding mower way cheaper than advertised for that very reason once.

So did the deal fall through completely?

[Stained Soul]

Yes, deal never happened.
On the other hand I am going to go pick up a C-50 project tomorrow.
I'll start a new thread if it pans out.
