19,500 GVW is HUGE!

The highest GVW I could find in the literature was 18,000 lbs for a grain body type truck.

By way of comparison, most of the one ton crew cab dually pickups during the squarebody era ('73 -87 ish) were 10,000 to 11,000 GVW.

That would be a six yard dump truck chassis. Or similar size farm truck.
