Load Capacity

[Fast68Chevy]

Your GVRW is listed on the plate on the door jamb. take thre GVRW minus the actual weight of the turck, thats the max weight that the Feds/manufacturer say you can haul around in it.....this is considered fully loaded.

the leaf trucks cant haul as much as the old coil rear trucks(comapring 1/2 ton to 1/2 ton) I hauled exactly 4,440 lbs in the back of my '68 coil spring C-10 once(steel scrap, parts), and I hauled it over 45 miles, I still the have scale receipts to prove it.
No leaf 1/2 ton could do that without breaking leaves. Trailing arm and coil spring suspension is tough.
I hauled more in the back of the truck than the truck even weighed(3800lbs)
The GVRW was 5500lbs
