GVW Help

Where to find the GVW

The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of a Power-Wagon is listed on the data tag in different locations depending on the style of tag. For the most part the GVW was 8700 from 1946-1950, and 9500 from 1951-1968. There are exceptions to this, so each tag should be checked. For more about the door tags, and their location, check the Serial Number Tags page.
