8 lugs front and rear with a bed less than 9’ makes it a 3/4 ton. (9’ bed is 1 ton)
Just call it what it is and don’t try to make it into what it isn’t.
Looks like a fine truck and there’s nothing wrong with a 3/4 ton.
Grigg,
What I am trying to figure out is how it could be a 3/4 ton shortbed. Was a 3/4 ton frame cut and shortened? Or were 3/4 ton spring perches added to a 1/2 ton frame? Or did Chevrolet actually make a one-off short bed 3/4 ton truck?
Inquiring mind wants to know.
Regardless of what the answers to my questions are, I would leave it alone. That is a cool looking truck!
