I can't see any series identification, as it's usually on the side of the hood (bonnet?) below the "Chevrolet" nameplate. The front axle is definitely 3/4 ton, and the rear end appears to be the same capacity. The front spindles and brake drums would be larger and set up differently for a 1-ton.

It looks like there has been some major modification to the frame where the winch is mounted. I can't tell if the frame length has been altered, but the work definitely does not look like a factory job. Usually, a tow truck would have been assembled by an independent contractor such as the Ernest Holmes company of Chattanooga, Tennessee from a cab and chassis supplied by a General Motors dealer- - - -the factory did not do custom work such as building tow trucks. That one's quite a project- - - -good luck!
