4008 CJ 1383E it is a GMC 4000, max. GCW 35000. it has a 2 speed axle, and torsion bar front suspension. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 942 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 942 | You have a 1962 GMC, made in Oakland, CA. The E on the end stands for the GVW, but I don't have any listings for that handy right now, but it is medium size truck. The GCW is the Gross Combined Weight, but listed next to that will be the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight). List that for us if you would, but I'm going to guess that it is around 19,500.

The cab is basically the same, the floor, mounts and maybe a few things under the dash will be different, but I've never compared the two piece by piece.
It's probably considered a 2-Ton, but that can be determined better when you verify the GVW for us.
