OK it's tagged 10,000 Gross Vehicle Weight (maybe they are counting trailer weight LOL), allowing 6,000 lbs for empty weight, that leaves 4,000 lbs and that 2 tons. Maybe the truck weighs more? Not sure someone chime in please.

I'm with you, it's either a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton and I'm leaning toward 1 ton. It's hard to count the front leaves but I think it's 4 looking at the axle area.

I'd check to see if the frame numbers match the cab numbers. I'd be surprised if they didn't, I'd tend to want to go with SS Tim on the 7600 real GVW, and if the vin numbers match then he's pretty much for sure right.

I'm not sure, are both 3/4 tons AND a 1 tons labeled 2500 series?

REALLY be cool if you could lift the "fingerprints" (forest service) off the door and re-paint it the same as it was. Even cooler if you could find an archive picture of it and re-make it as original. I'm a dreamer LOL.

Closed knuckle 70s were common in 67 just not on GM trucks. The early 60 open knuckles were used by about everyone else first.

Sorry I should have specified that I was speaking in regards to gm trucks only.
