Hedgehog 'Bolter H Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 385 Seattle	This is from the '54 GMC shop manual; it may not be correct for '51. :confused: The 250 is a 1-ton and came with 5.14:1 rear gears. The 280 (1.5 ton) came standard with 5.14:1, and had a 6.17:1 option. 280's have bigger axles. 1955 First Series GMC 250 1-Ton Panel In the Gallery Mr. Hedgehog - Follow the build If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll laugh at you.
