Fumblin46,
Said, "Mike B's descriptions are things like:
Flat Face Cowl Chassis, Cab Chassis%, Pickup%, Panel%, Suburban%, W/S Cowl Chassis & Cameo."
Those are all of the different Model configurations available in the 3100 Series (1/2 ton). The same applies to the other Series trucks listed on my page.
Curt,
"9000 series 3 Ton LCF
10000 series 3 Ton (Conventional)"
The 9000 & 10000 are still rated at 2-1/2 ton at least through 1959.
"Note that MikeB's lists also show the "special" and "heavy duty" models. I'm not sure how these designations affect the nominal rating of the trucks. For instance, for the AD trucks, the 6000S series was called a 1-1/2 Ton Special, rather than the usual 2 Ton. Something similar may or may not apply to the TF special trucks. Heavy Duty options may increase the actual GVW without affecting the nominal rating."
That is correct for TF trucks as well,
5000S & 6000S Series = Heavy Duty 1-1/2 ton w/ 15,000# GVW.
5000 & 6000 Series = standard 2 ton w/ 19,500# GVW.
5000H & 6000H Series = Heavy Duty 2 ton w/ 21,000# GVW.
Clear as mud...right?!?
Mike
