Ok, i could be wrong, but all the literature I've seen only lists 1/2
and one ton panels. as anyone ever actually seen a 3/4 ton? I mean that
has a different wheelbase than the 1 ton. Or have a sales book or manual
with 3/4 ton panels listed?
I ask this as I have seen people that had 1 tons pickups with the 3800
badge insiting they were 3/4 ton trucks. i have also seen people with
3/4 tons saying they were 1 ton.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I really would like to know if
I'm wrong and there were 3/4 ton panels made.
