I think the 3/4s had a 12" drum in the rear. Are you sure it is a 3/4 and not a 1 Ton? I look forward to the pictures! 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible. 41 Chevy
