If you look at pictures Gigawat posted in the welcome center, you'll see a stake pocket in front of the rear fender. Is it possible the spare tire is making a 3/4 ton box look shorter to us? In other words, is this an all around, unmodified, full length 3/4 ton (frame, axles, box, etc.) and we are simply misled by the description? Is there anything half-ton about this truck?

Although I believe the original poster, Gigawat, may have been misled as to the truck's tonnage, being a 3/4 ton doesn't make this any less of a truck. Or less valuable, in my mind.
