A '47-'55 model 303-24 300 series 1 1/2 ton cab, & chassis, has an approximate weight of 4545lb.s Same truck with platform body is, 5275lb.s. So i'm going to guess the earlier trucks, would be a tad lighter. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,554 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,554 | Have you guys seen this picture? Do you know what the extra lever is for? I've only seen pictures of the truck so far. Thahttp://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2539518610101947398oXhRoqnks for the weight guestamate. Dave

But I could be wrong,

It shifts an "extra" transmission/gearbox that you apparently also have. A fellow 'bolter told me they were called a "brownie" ??? Got me. He didn't know the reason for them (nor do I), but I can tell you this much, when you shift it into what I'll call low range, any box turtle can outrun you! With your power going through an additional gearbox, you will have some extra whining and groaning. It is much more noisy than my 54. But I find it an addtional piece of interesting truck history. Hope that helps. Scott | | |
