I`m new to the stovebolt trucks and have a question before I buy. I have a guy that has a 1935. He said it is a "stake" truck. I take it, it must have a wooden side box, I might be wrong, but would this be a 1ton? I`m looking for a 1/2 ton. One other question I have: If it is a 1 ton, is the cab and fenders the same size as a 1/2 ton? Thanks for any replies given, Darcy | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 684 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 684 | It could be a 1/2 ton that has had the bed changed. What size are the wheels and what is the lug bolt pattern. Cab would be the same and probably the fenders, but I'm not sure.

Get the wheelbase measurements, Wheel size and plenty of pictures. Most likely the guy has a larger truck and not a pick up. Is the truck a dually? Trev, 37ChevyTruckGuy just bought a 1936 Pick up, check with him, he's on the Cold side of the States too. He just went through the paperwork and customs. There are a few others that like this vintage, seek them out for info. Good luck in your search. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 143 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 143 | I believe a 1 ton would be very rare--most were 1/2 ton(with a wheelbase of about 112 inches) or 1 1/2 ton (mostly with dual rear wheels. 1/2 tons have either 15 or 16 inch wheels, 1 1/2 tons had 19 inch wheels IIRC. Check the Hemmings website, they had a one ton 1936 truck that might give you a hint.
