All '60-'62 Chevy mediums came with large front fenders whether they really needed them or not.

Right, that's why I separated '60-'62 and '63 to '66 above.

For some reason, Axles don't always add up to the GVW. My '67 7500 had 9 Fronts and 22 Rears, which should have had a GVW of 31,000, but the plate stated 27,500. May be a good question for Bob.
