martylee Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Ehhh... stupid question. What is the weight of the wc62/63? It's the weight without load I'm after. You see, I can only drive up tp 3500 kgs and kinda want a 6 wheels Dodge. Anyone??? Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I think its a little under 3300 Kilo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 That's a quick answer! Thank you very much! And it's also the answer I wanted to hear. So I'm now saving money for a 6 wheels Dodge. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian2b Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi Marty, According to the book by Bart Vanderveen - Historic Military Vehicle Directory, The WC63 weights 7550 lb, so hope there is someone out there that can convert this to Kgs or tons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 I really hope that someone can convert that to, and someone probably will do it real soon too. Thanks Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martylee Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 As I said, someone would give us the answer in no time at all. Thanks That was the one with winch, so what is the weight of the one without? Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian2b Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi Marty, If you can get a copy of "Wheels and Tracks" issue no 20 they have a 14 page write up on the Dodge 6x6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Vanderveen says 3250lb (1kg equals approx 2.2lbs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTIN CROSS Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Sorry to rain on the parade but licence weight limits refer to gross laden weight (or maximum vehicle mass) so it is the vehicle plus its' load capacity. However there are exceptions particularly if the vehicle was made before 1960. Suggest you check DVLA website. I think there are some threads on this elsewhere in the forum. Best of luck.

Enigma Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 In the Netherlands the gross weight is altered so it can be driven with a normal license. So 3250 vehicle weight 250 Cargo weight........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 I think Norway has pretty much the same rules as the Netherlands. I think that they add 75 kilos for each driver/ passenger. My thought was that if the wc62/63 weighs in at 3349 and register it as a two seater, which they are only to happy to do, since having passangers in the back isn't very popular. Then the total would be 3495 and I'd be allowed to drive it! Since this is a veteran/ historic vehicle it's not supposed to carry any cargo, also restrictions on distance to be driven each year. This makes perfect sense, doesn't it? And that's probably why it won't be allowed. I'm pretty naive, am I not!? Better start thinking of buying a jeep instead. :oops: Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martylee Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Thank you for the support Ian. One thing is sure, I'm not selling the Dodge. After all that was my first car. And prefer it to the jeep, but they are real easy to drive, and park and so on! Well see! Right now it's the wc62/63 I'm dreaming of!
