Definitely not a 1-ton- - - - -3800's have 8 wheel studs and yours looks like a 5/10 stud setup. I concur on the 2 ton guess, but the GVW tag on the driver's door post will tell for sure if it's still there. A 3800 cab could also have been installed onto a 2 ton frame- - - -no telling what has happened to the truck since 1954.
