1935 pickup GVW
Does anyone know the GVW of a 1935 Ford pickup. (The State of PA won't let me title the vehicle without it.)
I found some 'guesses' for the GVW of pickups from similar years, but none of the values seem to agree. Thanks for your time, - The Toddster |

Re: 1935 pickup GVW
Will they accept without verification what ever number you tell them?Here in Calif commercial vehicles require a certified weight slip in order to register if not noted in the title.Just get a certified weight slip,usually trucking companies know where to go.

Re: 1935 pickup GVW
I don't know if this will help you or not. It is from the Commercial Dealers book. Unfortunately your half ton 112 inch wheelbase is not listed in the charts.
Perhaps you could weight yours and add the half ton it's rated for? |

Re: 1935 pickup GVW
> certified weight slip
Good question, but I think not. The form specifically states "GVW", so I wouldn't think a 'certified weight slip' would satisfy the bureaucrats. It gets better. I called a local inspection station to see if they would sign the form if I could show him (via some literature) what the GVW is according to Ford. He recommended that I get the truck weighed. Do you think I had any success explaining the difference between 'gross vehicle weight' and 'curb weight'? The search continues. |

Re: 1935 pickup GVW
Interesting.....I just looked on the Virginia title for my '35 PU......it says: "Empty Weight 3140", and "Gross Weight 4000". The Virginia DMV came up with those figures when I titled it in 2001.....where they got the numbers is anyone's guess......

Re: 1935 pickup GVW
My 35 Ford pickup came from N.C and I live in Pa. Nobody ask me for GVW. Somebody doesn't like you.

Re: 1935 pickup GVW
Thanks everyone for your input. After all the fuss about GVW, the bureaucrats were finally happy with my paperwork and a new plate has arrived.
From Redneck: "... Somebody doesn't like you." No kidding! Redneck, do you ever attend any local car shows with your '35? From the photo, it looks fantastic! If you do sometime, please let me know. I'd love to see it in person. (I live a little North of Pittsburgh.) - The Toddster. [email protected] |

Re: 1935 pickup GVW
It appears that "Toddster's" problem was solved so my comments might be a little late. In any case I will post some of my knowledge pertaining to the registration of trucks, especially older pickups in several states.
The main requirement that most states want on the paper work for a commercially rated vehicle is the unlaiden (empty weight)... The unaiden weight is usually printed onto the registration card when the truck is first sold. In many states, 1/2 tons from the 1930'/40's are exempt from this requirement because the original manufacture did not rate their light pickups. With the exception of California, in the past, many of the states required that you pay fees based on what the maximum GVW was going to be. Therefore, if a truck has/had 5000 lb's painted on the truck, that was the maximum GVW of the vehicle. I have to agree with the earlier comments on this thread that someone in the local DMV had no idea what the requirements for licensing the vehicle was.
