Yup, and the plates here in Hillbillyland are based on RATED GVWR, not actual empty curb weight...

I have the same bus, Thomas body, only 7 windows and its empty weight was around 16k.

That is definitely over 10k. My light duty e350 all aluminum ambulance i almost 12k empty. This medium duty chassis is going to be at least 15k

I might go to the produce market tomorrow and get some answers. Or I might not.

I asked about the bus today.

The owner of the produce market said she was the owner.

She said she doesn't remember how she registered it as a 10,000 pickup truck.

She said she had no problem insuring it with Kentucky Farm Bureau....

I didn't feel comfy pushing the enquiry farther.....

She has been running the produce market for 30 years. I ain't gonna push...

Besides, I ain't interested in a full-sized bus.

I will get a van cut-away or a sticks & staples Class C

Take a load off, Annie. Take a load for free.......
