I have a '37 1 1/2 ton, but no real specs. Others will want to know if it's a half ton or a bigger 1 1/2 ton. The big truck was available in two wheelbase configurations. Something like 131" and 157", or close.

Here's the half ton if it's what you're after. I think it's a 36, but close enough. Stu

The frame would be SAE standard 34" like later trucks I believe. Here's a diagram of a 48+ chassis.


And a 46 diagram to give respective.



And the 36 big truck with same. Stu

I think IIRC the SAE frame width standards didn't start until '39.
