the vin 1KD02 3487 means Flint MI-3/4ton-made in Feb and 3487 off the line.
it has a wheel base of 123.75" (3/4 ton) 1/2 was 113.5"
So my question is did a 40 3/4 ton have 6 lug wheels? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | Yes. A local farmer in my area has a '46 3/4 ton and it has 6 bolt wheels. He purchased the truck new.

The KE models (3/4 ton heavy duty models) would have hade 14 inch brakes. There were two 3/4 ton models--KD and KE. Maybe that info will help? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 29 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 29 | THANKS everyone I don't know everything,but getting closer to it every day  | | |
