I've got a '45 "ton and a half" with a 12' flat bed/dump. (gives you an idea of the wheelbase)
I can guess how much the bed weighs, but how much does the truck weight? It doesn't have any badges like 6500, 5500, etc. We;ve just always called it a ton and a half. It has the 20" wheels, one rear axle, 10 lugs rear, 5 lugs front.
We need to have it hauled and when we tell towing companies it's "a dump truck" they say call a low bed service. I have a Ford F250 and a 20' trailer (2 5,200lbs axles) and weight distributing hitch. I'm reluctant to haul it my self. It needs to go about 80 miles. If it was just down the street I wouldn't sweat it.
