    How much does a typical 24' van body weigh? Just the body itself not the truck.

    If I find a box truck to convert I'd like to take the body off and drop it on an old 35' TT frame I have laying around (cut down of course). I'm just trying to determine if it would eat up too much of the axles capacity to be worth putting it on. I'm not sure yet if it has 5,000 or 7,000 lb axles or even something differant. I know it was 35' and has eight lug axles with brakes on both.

    I would guess with 8 lug axles they are rated at least 7k each.
