19.5 tires and rims
5 feet from the back of cab to center of rear wheels

Hy fil shaffer, If the hood comes to a point where the fenders, hood and cowl come together, then it is a 1 1/4-1 1/2 ton, if it's rounded it's a 1 ton, hope that helps.

Hy fil shaffer, The obvious clue to what you have is the wheels, 5 on the front 10 on the rear did not start until after one ton [which had 8 bolt all around] hope that helps.
