Why they would do it that way is beyond me, but none the less ... Not sure where I got the info from ... 3B maybe? I have no idea about what the 2-ton designation actually means on these trucks. As Mike B said, the math doesn't make sense to me. I can't believe it has anything to do with the front axle as the 6000 series are all considered "2-ton" trucks but, depending on axles, springs, and tires can have different weight capacities. My 1958 6400 weighs 9K with the steel dump, and the plate on the door jamb says 16,000 so, no idea where 2 ton comes from! | | | |
