weight

Why is the 69 so much lighter then the 70,71,72? According to the specs on this website it's about 700 pounds lighter.

The top is only a single wall, but 70 could have had the same single wall top too, I am unshure what year it changed.


Also, it may be a base truck weight, no rear or passenger seat?

just guesses, but they do not add up to 700 lbs /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

If I remember correctly the 69 specs are base on the base modle. The base modle came with a driver's seat only. No top, no pass seat, no back seat, no skid plates or dual crossmembers.

Either that or it is just a mistake in the specs. There is no difference between the '69 and the '70 - '72 models that would account for the weight difference.

I'm almost positive it's a typo.

Unless the '69 was built with extensive amounts of titanium and carbon fiber, it could never achieve a "featherweight" number like that.....
