Ask both buyers for close-up pics of usual rust areas-cab corners,kick panels,floorboards,and belt line. the trucks with 9-(usually)10'boxes were 1-tons,and short-wheel-base 1-1/2 tons.The "near-new" 235 is a good selling point! The one with the 12-14' bed could be either a 1-1/2,or 2-ton. On the latter,check to see if it has a 2-speed rear,in working order. You'll gain about 10 M.P.H.,(depending on gears),with the 2-speed. Both SOUND like good trucks. It depends on what you want to use it for,and like Grigg says,what condition the metal is in. Good Luck!!

It takes an awful big dog to weigh a ton.
