I was told that a 250 is a 1 ton, but the truck has larger axles (and duals) than the 1 tons I've seen that have very long pickup beds and are without duals.
The serial number (on the doorjam)is 25322C1119 which from the charts is a 1 ton, 137", 228, Oakland.
Could this be a 1.25 or 1.5 ton with a 1 ton cab?
I'm 100% certain that the axles are way larger that my old '53 3/4 ton.
Thanks

One tons had 17" and optional 18" rims. Which does this have? 7 leaf 2" front and 8 leaf 2" rear springs too. | | |
