Im looking to buy a transit to make into a transporter, now I only want it to carry my mk2 Cortina guessing it weighs around 1000kg.


How can you easily tell the carrying capacity with out looking at the weight plate, ive been told the code on the wing i.e. 125 350 is the bhp and the gross weight.


Ive been offered a single wheel swb transit but not sure if it will have the capacity once a bed is fitted.


Also dose any one know how much over hang your allow passed the rear axle ive been told its no more than half the wheel base.
