I checked mine but it was painted over. Only the Model and Serial Number is "stamped" in the metal. Mine is really a 1947.1 with the 3DP-J stamped into the metal.

There is a picture on Chevs of the Forties Web Catalog and it saya 4600 lbs.

I'm not to sure the weight is that much, I've got a '46 1/2T Panel with a SBC and other stuff in it and on a certified public scale it's only 3200. I needed the weight to title it. The data plate has no weight on it either.

The 1/2 ton weight is 3010 lbs. the orig. data plate will most times only have two #'s stamped on it. The #'s don't indicate the year but the Gross allowable weight in 100's of lbs.

Shipping weight = 2870 lbs.
Curb weight = 3010 lbs.
Gross Allowable Weight = 4600 lbs.
