I'll have to check the series on the GMC's. The '52 is a tandem axle, but I believe it was converted by a company out of CA. The 2nd axle is just a tag axle, but is set up with regular walking spring suspension. What is really impressive is apparently the conversion co. pulled everything off the frame, sandwiched a 4" wide, 11" tall, 1/4" channel to both outsides of the frame, then redrilled and reassembled the truck. Of course that has to add a good 1000 lbs of weight.

Stuart, your 1.5 ton, is it the same size as a 2 ton, or the smaller 1 ton. Almost everything around here is a 2 ton.

Thanks everyone! More stupid questions to follow!
