Chevy MH90 Need to know empty weight - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all, I am trying to arrange transport for a '74 chevy MH90, Long nose, Loooong wheelbase 225"ish Tandem axles ( budds) 8v71 13 speed road ranger and BARE frame rails.

I have a trailer that will Handle 14K, will I make it with this ? or is it going to be more ? Do I need to look for something else ?

Hopefully someone will reply who has some good specs, but with that wheelbase and a v8 Detroit diesel, I'm guessing empty weight will be 12-14k. The Budds may make it a little lighter. Is 14k the gross on your trailer? If so, I wouldn't do it.

In it's day it would pull 80k gross. It should pull 14k no problem.
It would require a Class A license I'd imagine.

I am looking to put it ON a trailer, and yes my trailer grosses at 14k (actually I just realized that is my tandem trailer..my triple has 3 7k axles..have to look to see what it is listed as ) the truck is bare and I could always pull the batteries and the outside duals... To have it loaded on a low boy and hauled would get expensive in a hurry.
