1965 F500 Information Requested
Hi:
I am looking at 1965 F500 ford grain truck and would need to tow it if I acquire it. I would like to know the approximate curb weight for this type of truck. Any ideas? Vin information I have is F50CC581954 with a 156" wheel base, 15000 GVW, Body 481, and Transmission N. If it matters the rear is dual wheel (900 x 20) with single speed differential.
Thanks

F600 weight
I would guess your F500 would weigh 8000 to 9000 lbs my F600 with 14 ft grainbed weighs 8800 lbs. Hope you can aquire that F500 I would love to find one to go with my F600 and F350. We would like to see some pics when you get her home.

That is close to my guess so I will assume 9000 lbs maximum. The box on this unit is shorter at 11 ft so that will lower the weight a bit. I will not be able to see the truck for a while as there is to much happening for me right now.
Thanks for your thoughts
