Van Weight?

I'm new to the forum...we are picking up our first econoline this weekend. It is a 1967 Deluxe Club Wagon, extended length. We are excited; but, am curious as to the actual weight. It has no rear bench seats, just front seats. We purchased a used owner's manual off of ebay; but haven't received it yet.

We are planning to bring it home from Michigan on a car trailer. Even though I'd love to drive it home, just for the adventure of it! I think we'll just play it safe...

We will post pics as soon as we get them!

Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the site!!!! My best guess would be about 3600-3800 LBS. That what my 69 108 chevy weights

Hey Tim, Welcome to the site! Congrats on your new Early.

Where-abouts in Illi-noise are you?

Thanks for the warm welcome and info!

We are about 50 miles NW of Chicago.

Hmmm, I live near the Fox Lake area, 35 miles NW of O'Hare

Taz has a weekend of earlies late in the summer just North of Gurnee. There is also a van show near Lake Geneva in October.

I would guess about 3300lbs Vanish is about right with 2800 for a typical short van but the extended van weighs more,has the heavier 9 inch rear end,plus a 240 weighs more than a 170 and all the interior components are a little longer which also adds weight.

My '66 Supervan weighs 3363lbs... 300" motor, AOD trans, alum wheels & only 5 leafs in the rear springs. Gross vehicle weight on mine is 3650. Which means it's good for about 2 people??
