Anyone out there have a "heavy half"? 1/2T with 3/4T axles? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've seen these around in my lifetime.
Not for a long time now have I seen one.

I came accross some literature about ordering a for example a 3/4T and with some special options you can get the truck rated to haul at the 1T level but you buy the 3/4T model saving you some money (I guess).

I was wondering if that was what the heavy half's I've seen where?

Is there anyone who has one?
Is/was it GMC only that offered that?
Is there an RPO option on the glove box?
How about the VIN number where most GMC's have a dash in it? Is the dash still there?

thanks.
