STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY
105 The statements below are applicable to the following
incomplete vehicle types except when completed as a
school bus, and if the GVWR is between 3629 kg [8000
lb] and 6373 kg [14,050 lb] inclusive:
• Incomplete E-Series Van or Wagon
• E-Series Cutaway
• E-Series Basic (Stripped) Chassis
This vehicle, when completed, will conform to Standard
105, Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems, if:
• No alterations, modications, or replacements are
made to the following:
– Service or parking brake system
– Antilock brake system
– Vacuum system
– Wheels and tires
– Brake system indicator lamp and wiring
– Brake system reservoir labeling
– Suspension ride height or spring rate
– Hydro-boost system
– Power steering pump and lines if used with Hydro-
boost
– Engine belt drive system
– Wheelbase
• No additional sound deadener or rust proofing
material, that may be applied to the vehicle, can
interfere with proper parking brake cable function.
• No part of add on equipment, i.e. toolboxes, flat
bed attaching brackets, etc., can interfere with the
movement of parking brake cables or air ow to rear
brake assembly.
• Any removal of a Ford body or chassis component is
accompanied by the addition of equal weight.
• E-Series Cutaway and Basic (Stripped) Chassis
vehicles conform to the minimum SUB weights found
in Table B, page 15.
• The maximum GAWRs and GVWR, as identied on
the cover of this document, are not exceeded with
the vehicle weight at Unloaded Vehicle Weight +
Passenger Load (P). (See E-Series Passenger Load
chart on this page.)
• The service or parking brake pedal assembly
operation is not restricted by any alteration or added
components.
• The SUB horizontal center of gravity must be at or
forward of the rear axle centerline for the following
vehicles:
- E-350/450 Basic (Stripped) Chassis
- E-350 Super Duty Cutaway (DRW)
- E-450 Super Duty Cutaway
105 (Continued)
The horizontal center of gravity for the SUB is:
– At or forward of the rear axle centerline. The vertical
center of gravity for the completed vehicle at GVWR
CGv (Equation C) must not exceed 48.0 inches
when measured from the ground.
– Behind the rear axle centerline. The vertical center
of gravity for the completed vehicle at GVWR must
fall within the appropriate range determined from
Table E page 16. The value of CGh (Equation D),
which approximates the horizontal center of gravity
of the completed vehicle, is used in Table E to
determine the vertical center of gravity limits for
the completed vehicle. The value of CGv (Equation
C) which approximates the vertical center of
gravity of the completed vehicle must fall within the
appropriate range determined from Table E.
