I just purchased this truck on ebay and can't wait for delivery. I was decoding the VIN (SW54K025843) and the SW denotes a 6400 Special which the specifications manual seems to call a 1 1/2 Ton with a GVWR of 15,000 lbs. The regular 6400 is shown as a 2 Ton with a GVWR of 16,000 lbs.
I thought the 4000 series was the 1 1/2 ton series and the 6000 series was the 2 ton series. What (and why?) is a 6000 series 1 1/2 ton?
