Hi everybody. It looks like I maybe adding an F600 dump to my collection. I’ll need to rent a trailer though and looking for info I’m not finding in my on line search’s. It’s an 82 with a 370 and I’d like to know the weight, and width at the duallys.
96.5 on the outer rear duals. With the dump body it should be around 14k unladen. Its going to require a 102" wide trailer and a 26k trailer. May as well farm out the towing to a tow company with a dovetail. Your not towing it with a pickup.
My 78 with a 16' flat bed dump on it is 9960 lbs. Even with the dump body I doubt you'd be much over 12k, I've hauled mine on a dovetail trailer behind a one ton pickup, wouldn't want any smaller truck than that hauling it but it can be done with a one ton.

Some key changes happened after 1980, the frames grew in size and thickness, the front axles were upsized and the Rockwell rears gained size. These trucks were much heavier than the generation prior.
You're right I just looked it up, sorry I had just assumed it'd be similar.
If you verified it was under 14k then you could probably do it (most of our loads we max out at 12.5k on the trailer, or putting more weight tongue weight can be legal a little above that. If you have a truck and trailer that gives you the weight rating that can make it pencil you can probably pull it off, but it also depends how far you've got to go etc. We pulled a 16k lb forklift with a 1 ton but it was a 10 ton trailer and we went slow and steady but I'm not sure that is something we'd do again.
Always better safe than sorry
Instead of opening another thread, here’s another thing I’d need to deal with. Mind you this is all speculation because I don’t own the truck. The right front corner has damage, and it looks like FRP and that’s an easy repair. But if it’s urethane that’s a lot more difficult. Can anybody advise?
This quest is going nowhere. The seller went silent and also pulled the ad, But another ad came up with an 88-F700 with a Brazilian diesel, showing 211,000 kms. Damage to the left side of the hood and broken axle shaft. I sent out questions asking air or hydraulic brake, transmission and rear axle details.
It has full floating axles and normally the shafts come out easy, but what level of pain am I getting into if the axle snapped?
