Help with GVWR Label ?

[grummy]

Can someone explain what my Door Weight Tag is actually telling me ? Maybe I am just stupid, but they show two numbers for each section. Here is what I have:

GVWR 5200 / 2359
GAWR Frt 2950 / 1339
GAWR Rr 3100 / 1407

I assume the GVWR of 5200 is the max weight, but what is the 2359 ? I don think that would be the curb weight.

I can't add up the GAWR's and get 5200... None of the numbers between Frt and Rr add up to anything else.

I'm going to have to get it on a scale to get the actual curb weight, and I guess I would assume the GVWR at 5200 would be my maximum weight. Truck is an '83 GMC C1500 Regular Cab Long Bed. Again, I don't understand these second numbers ( / xxxx) !

Thanks !

Oh Jeez.. two minutes after I posted, I used a KG to Lbs calculator and found that the second number is Kilograms ! Duh !

There is no indicator on the tag that says anything about Kg's, but 1339Kg = 2950 lbs. So, I got it figured out.
Thanks anyhow. I'm pretty new to the group with a truck I picked up in August. I've had 67-72's over the years but this is my first SB.

Many SB trucks were made in Canada, thus the KG spec.
