I have a 46 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup, single rear wheel that has eight lugs. A dually with eight lug would be a one ton.

My 1946 3/4 ton also is 8 lug wheels, single wheel on the rear. Just had new tires installed on the original rims, they look great, can't wait for spring weather now to start riding on them.

It is a manually cranked up ladder. Like for servicing signs, street lights, etc.

I drive by Kenneth's place 3-4 times a week.
