I've got willed a 40 GMC 1 1/2 dually stake truck that my Grandpa had and bought new, I'm trying to get it back to my place so I can work on it. Been looking for info on it like how wide is the axles, the weight. It's been about 20 yrs ago I drove it from his house. Hope you all can help thanks

Should be close to that of the GMC. I have a 1940 Chevy 1 1/2 Ton Truck that my Grandfather bought brand new. It has 21,000 original miles and still runs great! I can tell you the type of bed will make a big difference on weight.
