* Model: Dodge offered several van models in 1979 (e.g., Tradesman, Sportsman, and different lengths and configurations).
* Engine: Different engines added weight.
* Options: Added features like air conditioning, power steering, and extra seating all increased the weight.
To find the curb weight for a *specific* 1979 Dodge van, you'd need to know its exact model and options. You might find this information on:
* The vehicle's original window sticker (if available): This is the best source.
* A 1979 Dodge van brochure: These sometimes list weights for different configurations. You can try searching online for scans of these brochures.
* A classic car value guide: These guides often include weight information, but it might be generalized rather than precise.
Without that specific information, I cannot give you a definitive answer.
