When I bought my '52, I thought I was buying a 3/4 ton. I didnt realize that it was a One Ton until researching the data plate on GVWR, 8,800 lbs. Plus, no rear shocks, only double stack springs. But why it is not a dually is a mystery. But I feel rather silly, not realizing until three months later! The previous owner must not have realized either. Did they make a one ton with a single wheel rear axle?
