hi there, I have recently moved and in the process of getting prices to have my truck hauled to my new location. does anyone know what a 1946 M16-52 flatbed might weigh ?

I hauled a '47 M-16-52 with a metal sided grain box and hoist on a car trailer, and it was kind of scary to do it. I figure it was at least 6000 pounds. Your truck would be lighter, maybe 5000 or so? An equipment trailer would be fine.

I brought a m16 dually from Kansas . It weighted right at 5200 lbs. with no bed and that weight included the 1600 lb. dual axle trailer it was on. So truck was about 3600 lbs. and maybe a lot less if all the rats had gotten out. Pulled it a 1000 miles back to Ohio with a 2002 Grand Cherokee with a 4.0 and no trailer package (3:23 rear gears). now it weights almost 4000 lbs. ( surprised me!) Jeep had 26,000 miles on it at the time, now has over 179,000 miles and still no problems with motor or trans. )

I have a flatbed on my '48 M16-52 and with me sitting in the cab, we weighed in at 5060 lbs. Neal

So that means the truck is 4900, right?
