Thanks for the interest and reading my post.

Welcome to the forum, Hank! You've certainly got a fine looking truck there! I'm curious about a couple of things, though. Your front wheels don't match the rear dually wheels. So, I'm guessing somewhere along the line the front end was changed from one ton to three quarter ton, or the rear end was converted from three quarter to one ton. From the factory, the front and rear wheels of both tonnage ratings would have been the same, so only one spare was needed.
It could be my imagination, but your wheelbase looks pretty long. Three quarter ton trucks had a 127" wheelbase. Available on one ton models were 133" and 157" wheelbases. Another clue might be your parking brake. Half and three quarter ton models had the lever under the dash to the left of the steering column. One ton models had a band brake on the driveshaft with a lever coming up out of the transmission hump.
We're looking forward to learning more about your intriguing truck! By the way, your grille letters are from 1966 only.
