The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks 1965 3/4 ton 4x4 ?

hi. i'm looking at buying a 65 3/4 ton 4x4 and am in need of some advice before i go any further. question is how to tell a 1/2 ton from a 3/4. the seller says it's a 3/4 but from looking at pics it looks as though the rear axles are 6 lug. i thought 3/4's used 8 lug rears. how can a novice like me tell the diff from crawling around under the truck. the frame and cab aren't original but both are 65 or 66 so that doesn't bother me much, however getting a 1/2 when i thought i was getting a 3/4 does.

thanks for any help.
scott.
