What's the G.V.W.R.? My '55 6500 was 16,000,but I THINK that the buses,6700,(longer wheel-base) were 18,000. I THINK that the G.M.C. 350's are considered 2-tons,which would put them in the "Viking" League.

It takes an awful big dog to weigh a ton.

The GMC 350 was a two ton. It should be comparable to the Chevy 6000 series (6100, 6400, 6500) which became the C50 in 1960. The GMC 350 became the 3500 in 1960 and then 5500 in 1967.
