Default CMP weight
G'day all
Does anyone happen to know how much a F15A cab 13 weighs?
Just a cab chassis unit?

Cheers Luke

Gross weight of 9085 lbs is listed in F15-HB1.

Vehicle data book of the Canadian army overseas lists:
- curb weight of 3740 + 3670 lbs for front and rear axles respectively;
- laden weight of 3880 + 6140 lbs similarly.

Converting the unladen curb weight looks just under 3.4 tonnes to me (in modern units). A quick double check of the HB1 gross figure reveals it minus 15cwt comes to about the same value.

The laden weight above must have extra (like people, tools, etc.)

Lauren, I doubt that is cab and chassis only.

No it won't be, that's with a body. Alas I don't seem to have figures for the body weights.
