I'm looking for the GCWR of my '79 F700. It has a 370 4v, 4+2 (6.17/8.58), 24000# GVW (7k front, 17.5k rear) & hydraulic brakes. I'm having a hard time finding any info on this. I've found some on older trucks (late sixties), but nothing for the newer ones.

 

I went looking for it for my F-700 truck and I only found number in sales Catalogs .

The 81 one showed max GVWR of 27K and Max GCWR of 60K.
The 87 one showed max GVWR of 30K and Max GCWR of 60K.

 

No 1960's or 1970's Ford truck has the GCWR stamped on the Warranty Plate.

GVW(R) stamped on the 3rd line-far left of the Warranty Plate.

 

Thanks 80broncoman, It's a start to knowing the max GCWR.

NumberDummy, I have come across some sales brochures from the late '60s to the early '70s. The one from '73 (IIRC) was 23k max GVWR & 40k max GCWR for a F700. Knowing that as equipment gets newer & better, so does its capabilities. I need to know what it's safely capable of handling to avoid over loading it.
