Ed, Mike B (et al) -- Please correct me if wrong, but the whole 1, 1.5, 3,4 etc Ton rating (at least for the AD trucks and older, possibly for the Task Force as well, was actually the weight rating for the *front* axle, yes? Why they would do it that way is beyond me, but none the less ... Not sure where I got the info from ... 3B maybe?
So .... If somebody comes up with a reference to cite that backs me up and I'm right, are you all going to send me $10 donations to the site??? If you come up with a source to cite that shows I'm out to lunch, then I will waive your membership fees for the year. Deal?
