Guess my weight!

[Gryzynx]

I know it's not an A body, but I bought this thing and now I have to move it. Any idea what this might weigh?

 

[fzmax]

No idea, but it looks cool as hell. What is it?

 

[71dodge]

at least 3-4 tons

 

[71dodge]

why did you buy it?

 

[JR]

56 Fargo COE?

 

[Galactic_eyes]

3 1/2 tons

That's cool! A 53? Dodge COE. (Just guessing the year.) My guess would be 5000#. That thing needs a 392 Hemi ! LOL toolman

I have no idea but if you need some help moving it, let me know

 

[mopwr2004a]

I would say around 11000 lbs

I would say around 11000 lbs

I think that's a reasonable guess, my 90 Diesel 4x4 RAM weighs just over 6000 lbs so it should be a fair bit more than that.

I can picture a chopped/channeled & bagged BB stake sided flatbed.

Thanks everyone,

It's a 55 or 56 Fargo COE. C3 series. Why I bought it? probably a brain fart, but I thought it would look cool on the 75 Dodge 1 ton motorhome chassis I have in the backyard. Some of these trucks had 331 Hemi's, but this apparantly is a poly engine. Trans is missing and it's just a cab and chassis. It's about 600 km from me in Consul, Saskatchewan. Sounds like it rolls OK, but I'm a little leery about putting it on a trailer because of the weight. I've got 2 3500# axles on my trailer and this is probably over the top. Options are pulling the cab where it sits, flat towing with a towbar at slow speed or hiring a heavy truck/trailer to move it.

if you dont mind how much did you pay for it?

 

[Gryzynx]

$750 Canuck bucks. Bought it from pictures, but I'm not expecting perfection here. Must say it's the only one I've ever seen.
