Apart from the VIN, how would you tell a 1.5 ton from a 2 ton? I am looking at a nice big bolt, suppose to be a 1946 1.5 ton. I measured the wheelbase: 160. That could be either 1.5 or 2 ton. The VIN plate says: 50F 05 2698. I looked at the VIN/Model guide on Whitney's site at
http://www.haist-usa.com/artdecotrucks/identification.htm The "5" means made in Kansas City. The next two letters would have to be the Model. I have 0 (the number) and F, but it could easily be O (the letter) and F, which would mean it's a 2-ton according to the guide. However, the seller has the title and it is represented as a 1.5 ton. Any other way to be sure? Here's a pic:
