That looks like a 5500 to me. But I may be wrong. But I do not think that is a 5 ton truck. Someone else will know for sure.

Looks like a C60 medium duty truck that was shortened (or maybe it was the right length already ?) and had a 1 ton truck bed stuck on it. I've heard of this being done before. Makes for one beefy pickup truck.

"Sailing" should be your first indication.

A 5 ton is the chassis that is used on military trucks.

I aint sure what it is but it would be tough to get it out of a mudhole if it stuck. Jay

That truck on craigslist looks like maybe a C50, about a 1 1/2 ton or so.

Ya know ...... my work bought one of those from FEMA. It was a '78 & had 19K on a 8V92TT with a RR10 speed with a 26' box on the chassis. It was bought for the box. I had the pleasure of driving it around every few days & ended selling it for $5K. If I had the $$ at the time I would have shortened the rails & added the p/u dually box.

They are SUPER heavy duty as a pick up.
