1957 tare/curb weight

Hi

Can someone point me to a web site that states the tare/curb weight of a 1957 3100.

I need this information to get my truck complied for New Zealand roads.

Thanks
Gary

The link in my signature will get you to a manual. Scroll down to year index, click on 57 truck, then on the TOC and look for specs.

Some licensing systems are good with the shipping or "curb" weight while others demand an actual certified scales weight slip.
