The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun Are One-Ton fenders the same as 3/4 ton and pickups?

I think I know the answer,but I saw this photo and had to ask,wondering if the one-ton wheel opening is the same:

Depends on the year and tire size. My 1941 1 ton pickup has 17 inch wheels and the front and rear fenders are larger and rarer.

1/2 & 3/4 ton had 15 and 16 inch wheels with the same size fenders front and rear.

I would check a parts list.

The '41 is somewhat of an odd case, though, as the 1 ton truck (According to my sources, only a Panel was offered) was based on the 1 1/2 ton chassis, with lighter spring and tire equipment.
Then again, if you go later, there was a 1 1/2 ton offered in the late '60s/early '70s that used the same body as the 1/2 through 1 ton trucks, with the difference being an HD suspension, larger brakes, HD rear axle, and heavier tires.
To muddy the waters even more, there was also a 1 1/2 ton Express model (a very large pickup) offered during the '30s.
In the case of the '52, the fenders are the same through 1 ton.

Like Bill said, I think for clarification we should stick to your truck in question, AD 1947-1955; then yes. 1/2 ton to 1 ton trucks share the same fenders and most cab parts.

Thanks guys for answering that.When I saw the dually wheel on that truck,I thought that possibly it required a different fender.

What size wheel and tire were on the one-ton dual wheel trucks? (Advanced Design)

18" dual wheels on an AD 1 ton

Thanks,what was the tire size and/or diameter,and how did it compare to the smaller pickups?

The truck in your link is a 1.5-2 ton with the 5 hand hole wheels so it should have a larger fender opening than the 1/2-1 ton trucks.

Oops! I missed the picture.
Yep, I'd guess that's a 2 ton or if the picture was better detail you could tell if it's a 1.5 ton, it is one or the other.

OK,that makes sense,that the photo was incorrectly labeled as a one-ton truck.The photo wasn't very clear...and the hood is open on the truck,but at my view the nose did not look like a big bolt.

Did any one-ton truck come with dual rear wheels?

Yes, on the 1-ton Advance Design (which is what we are talking about), duallies were an option. Look in our Gallery and you'll find lots/many/some of them.

The open hood presents a nice clue -- the shorter shroud covering the top of the radiator and mounting the hood latch. On the 1-tons and smaller, the upper shroud is taller and more pronounced. On the Big Bolts, because of the taller tires needing bigger fenders which in turn require a bigger grille ... smaller shroud needed.

Like Grigg says, if we had more resolution to that photo so we could make out the detail of the front wheel hub, we could see if it is a bolted-on round cap (2-ton) or a screwed on hexagonal (?) cap (1.5-ton).
