The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 1/2 Ton, 3/4 Ton, 1 Ton???? Which one is it???

Hey smokinjoe, Is that Tandem a Chevy, or GMC. If it's a Chevy, 2 Ton, would be the highest it can be rated in 1946, also the Tandem set-up would be a conversion from an outside jobber, such as Trucktor, Truckstell, Fabco, Truxmore, Grico, or Thornton. Chevrolet didn't have it's first factory built Tandem until 1956. GMC's on the other hand, had their own Tandem back in the 30's, also were rated as high as 20 Ton trucks. I have a '54 Chevrolet 2 Ton COE, that has a Trucktor Chain Drive Tandem Axle.
