Pickup Conversion To Chassis Cab - Chevrolet 2010 Silverado Owner's Manual

Open the driver's door and look at the
Certification/Tire label to find out your vehicle's
GAWRs and GVWR.
If your vehicle has gone over the weight ratings,
move or take out some things until all the weight
falls below the ratings.
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that
could affect the balance of your vehicle. When the
truck camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh
on the front and on the rear wheels separately to
determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should
not exceed either of the gross axle weight ratings
(GAWR). The total axle loads should not exceed
your vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR). These ratings are given on the vehicle
certification label attached to the rear edge of the
driver's door. See Certification/Tire Label under
Loading the Vehicle on page 5 29 . If weight
ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings.
When you install and load your slide-in camper,
check the manufacturer's instructions.
If you want more information on curb weights,
cargo weights, Cargo Weight Rating and the
correct center of gravity zone for your vehicle,
your dealer can help you. Just ask for a copy of
Consumer Information, Truck-Camper Loading.

Pickup Conversion to Chassis Cab

We are aware that some vehicle owners might consider
having the pickup box removed and a commercial or
recreational body installed. Owners should be aware
that, as manufactured, there are differences between a
chassis cab and a pickup with the box removed which
could affect vehicle safety. The components necessary
to adapt a pickup to permit its safe use with a
specialized body should be installed by the body
builder.
