Well, so my truck has an F-150 ranger Badge on it. It has dana 60 rear end but the 5 lug in the front. Would you consider it a 3/4 ton or a half ton? lol I don't really know... lol.

I had a 70 Chevy C-10,it had 6 lug wheels but had a Heavy Duty spring option and I have heard them called Heavy Halfs,I dont know if that is a real name or people just made it up or if it applies to all makes of trucks.

Not gonna lie, i'm a puss, we don't have a shop and it was too hot, lol. I brushed my horse and spent the rest of the day inside haha
lol makes sense then, so the 360 has the ring of death? thats no good, either got to have somebody rebuild it that knows what theyre doin or get a new one then
Well, a 3/4-ton has a heavier frame than a 1/2-ton so that further complicates the figurin'. But the rear axle is the major player in load carrying and once you have a full-float of any type in the rear you can pretty much carry anything that the springs will hold so I guess calling it a 3/4 ton would be fine.
You might as well swap the 8 lug outers on up front and call it a 3/4 ton. I've seen lots of weird swaps over the years...
