Unladen it comes in at about 7000lbs - but I am not sure what they were rated to carry, I am guessing in region of 16k ?

The maximum GVW of a standard factory-equipped 1955 4400 (1st or 2nd series) was 14,000 lbs (with different tires/springs, the Max GVW ranged from 10,000-14,000 lbs). As asked above, what is listed on the ID plate?

Thanks for your help.

In other words if it's rated at 14,000 GVW and weighs 7000 then you can haul 7000 -- legally anyway. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 25 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 25 | | | |
