... thanks for that information. Good to know. This means that I won't have to reduce the load capacity in order to register my truck legally here in Switzerland.
2'680 + 750 loading capacity = 3'430 kg total weight => slightly under 3,5 t Greetings Chris

F15 weight
My Book Third edition of the Ford Special Vehicles states on page 220;
Nett weight, cab and chassis fuel,oil, and water, is 4776lb. Then you have to add the weight of the body, and the weight of the original one was 745lb.(many of the back bodies were built locally after shipping, and so will vary) Thats a total of 5521lb.= 2509kg. While I'm here the book gives your axle ratio as 6.67:1 (F15a = 6.5:1 = slightly faster on the road) and your tyres should be 900x16. Interestingly the tyre pressures are suppost to be front 14lb, and rear 24lb. these pressures are for a full rated load on road (Canada only) Cross country they reccommend,10lb front, and 16lb rear. If the truck is used cross country with no load the rear tyre pressures should be deflated to the same as the front ie 10lb.

Gross Weight
My tag says my GVW is 10,000.
The tag is on the drivers side of the doghouse just above the distributor door.

F15 weights
Hi Gareth
nice to hear that another CMP is making it back onto the road. A FORD as well to boot! Can you answer a Question please? Where the DVLA just making sure that you were not driving a class of truck that your licence did not cover. I guess that you were taxing HISTORICAL class to get MOT test exempt, Road fund licence exempt. IE nil cost to you Main weights to be aware of in UK. Refers to Goods vehicles in general but all the same handy if you get asked. 7500 KGS GVW trucks can be driven on a car licence [some exceptions/restrictions for when car licence was issued] dvla or vosa websites are full of info Whats wrong with good old Lbs and ounces, whats all the craze with Kgs thingies. In my day 2240 Lbs EQUALED A TON. Not 1016 KGS being 1 ton.  Trucks OR vans under 3500 KGS do not require the operators Licence to carry goods for hire and reward [Although your Insurance might]. Another thought> you must be rich if you filled the fuel tank or is it more a case of once you filled tank you ceased to be rich Stephen
