Hi Tom
Old Ford parts locations are great resources. I will eventualy want to rebuild my dash gauges and would like original parts. I weighed my coach today 6280 lbs on the front axle and 7240 lbs on the rear 13,520 total is no slouch. It was semi full loaded. 50 gal water, 50 gal propane,75 gal gas. I think the extra weight comes from installed options. 5cck Onan, Jacobsen retarder brake, extra heavy rear axle, dual wheels etc.
The original 330cid ford engine pulled it pretty well and I only had to down shift on the steepest mountain passes. I expect the 390 block I installed to be an improvement. I can only imagine what a 460 would do.
Mike
