<< Dave can you or anyone else shed the
light on the weight sticker located on the passenger door of M series
vehicles. Its the only thing I don't have on my truck because I don't
know if
the number should be the same as the front or should it actually be the
empty weight............since you cannot change it every day??????
a M35A2, a M54A2C and a M62 that will need the weight sign on the
passenger door.>>
Jeff,
This is a subject that causes a lot of confusion for collectors,
unfortunately, space consideration forced the three photos of door markings
to be left out. If you want, I can email them to you.
However, the weight class displayed permanently on the right side of the
vehicle is the unladen weight classification.
The following are the unladen weight classifications for the vehicles in your
collection. This information comes from Table C-3 of FM 5-36, March 1985.
M35A2 6 (M35 and M35A1 are class 5)
M54A2C 8 without winch
M54A2C 9 with winch
M62 16 (I erroneously marked mine as 17, which is the class for the M543
family of wreckers)
Hope this helps,
David
