Somebody must know this---
what are the basic weight divisions --as defined by gvw---for 77 ford f-250 ---and---f-350---...i.e.--the basic f-250 I believe is rated at 7800 gvw---Now , what is the next gvw weight rating above 7800---otherwise known as f-250HD---Is it 88oo or something close to that???????--I know that in 78 the f-350, single rear wheel gvw was rated at 9900-and the drw--one ton was rated at 10,000. This is probably common knowledge for all you chevy haters out there!!! Also , please list the basic axle for each weight class if you happen to know that as well , thanks and in Australia they replaced all chevy's with 2-hump camels and a cb- radio for emergencies-----so they can call the Local wrecker company that drives a ford!!!!!!!!

For F-250 2wd, GVWR's range from 6200 to 7900. F-350, 2wd runs from 8300-9900 lbs GVWR.
For the F-250, GCVR (Truck and trailer) ranges from 12,500 to 14200 lbs with a Class 4 hitch)
For F-350, GCVR ranges from 17300 to 18500.
For F-250 4wd, top GVWR is 8400, GCVR is 14700.
This is all from my 78 Owners Manual.

The available GVWRs move around a little year to year. In some years, the highest F250 GVWR is greater than the lowest F350 GVWR.
Simple rule of thumb to identify a 1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton:
F100/F150: Ford 9" rear axle w/ 5 lugs
F250: Dana 60 rear axle w/ 8 lugs
F350: Supposedly a Dana 70 w/ 8 lugs
