'63 Ranchero 'Weight'
Yo Folks!
I have to complete a form for my Application for Title, and one of the spaces is "Weight". Not GVW, or anything else, just "Weight"
Does anyone have a guess as to the "weight" of a '63, (standard 6 cyl, 3 spd on the column) ?
My guess is it's pretty light relative to the later models, but I really have no idea what to put in that space.
Doesn't anybody have a title for a round body that has the weight listed, that would be willing to look it up for me?
I'd drive it down to the truck scales, but it's up on 4 jack stands, and without a title and no plates makes it a bit difficult to drive.
Regards,
Charlie
'63, with a lotta work need!

Charlie,
I couldn't find the title for my '63 chero right off so I went to carnuts.com where they have the stat's for just about all early Fords and found on the weight it states : min/max 2348/2463. I assume the min is the economy I-6 and the max is the loaded V-8. I hope this helps and good luck with your project.
Jammero.
PS. Are you keeping it stock or upgrading?

Thanks for the help!
Once I have a title, I don't think the State really cares whether I mod it or not. I don't think they really care about the weight, as we're not taxed by vehicle weight here, but by value.
My guess when I take it down to get it registered was gonna be ~2600 lbs, as I understood that was about the weight of the Chevy LUV trucks.
