Glad to see there is a group honoring the 1-ton. I have a 1953 that is on my homemade rotisserie taking off the undercoating and trying to decide what to put on the cab bottom to protect it for a long long time. I made patch panels and have them welded in next I have to deal with the back corners. I have single rear wheels but I favor building a flatbed instead of the original bed. My son thinks I should put the original bed back on it. What do most of you think? This is my first 1-Ton , I've had 3 2-Tons , 1 -1/2-Ton m and 1- 3/4Ton. I've had many adventures with the 2tons including driving a fully loaded one up the Alcan highway. Can't wait to have adventures with my one ton.
