1/2 Ton Or 3/4?
 
Ok I Am Going To Start With A Stupid Question. How Can I Tell If My Recently Purchased Truck Is A 1/2 T Or 3/4t. Yes I Am New To The Trucks, And Finally I Have What I Wanted For 10 Yrs. I Bought A 69 C10 Short Bed , 6cyl 3 On The Tree. Yes I Have Been Reading The Forums And Found That 6 Lug Was Used Cause There Was No 5 Lug On These Trucks Till The 70 Or So. Ok Anyway It Has Coils In The Rear, Which I Found Prob Is A 373. Im Thinkin This Is A 1/2 Ton , Any Help? Thanks

Since you said you have 6 lug axles you most likely have a 1/2 ton, unless someone converted it to 6 lug. Plus you said it's a short bed, there were no actual 3/4 ton or higher short beds. So someone would have had to chop the frame and put on a short bed and convert it to 6 lug IF it was originally 3/4 ton.

You most likely have a 1/2 ton. Also there may be badges on the side that should say something like C-10 (1/2 ton) or C-20 (3/4 ton).

Hope this helps.
