Trying to find out what the gross vehicle weight is on a 79 f350 4x4 with dana 60`s in both ends. VA law states that if truck is manufactured with a GVW over 15000lb`s there is no height law. just lookin for some input on subject.

 

I dont know exactly, prolly around 9200, well under 15k for sure.

 

8550 reg cab
8600 supercab

 

My 74 is 10K, the highest I've seen on an F-350 is 14000 on a dually.

 

this is the reason why i asked

The book says 8550 lbs Minimum.

 

According to my owners manual, Father Ford is correct.

 

mistake.........mods:delete at will

 

You don't want that '79 F350 4x4 with D60's at both ends. Those are the worst trucks to have. You better let me take it off your hands. I'll even pay to haul it off.

 

uh huh bet u would
took me 10years to build truck (lots of doner trucks lol)
check out my mud truck,way better than 60`s.just not steet legal in VA

 

Those are some nice trucks you have!! I really like the '73

 

Hey Oft, many people here at the Beach have told me you can register your truck with what ever GVWR you can pay for. It can make it legal at least on paper, but an inspection station or the police will ost likely catch it once the check the plate on the vehicle One last thing to try maybe is the dropped-tag bumpers, where the liscence plate is bolted to the center of the bumper which in turn is a section that is up too 2 feet lower than the rest of the bumper.

Kinda fruity, but its a legal loophole and people down here get away with it. There was a 78-9 F-250 (blue) that had 45" or so under its bumper, but the tags brought it down to legal height

EDIT: Crap, can't draw it, but you get the idea
