F Series?

Hello, I'm new to this site. I just bought a '51 F7 Marmon Herrington 4x4 flatbed/dump. My first question is what size [tonnage] are each, F1=, F2=, etc. Most of all, what tonnage is an F7? Thanks!

F2 - max payload of 2428 lbs including body & equip.
F3 - max payload of 3340 lbs including body & equip.

F7 - max payload of 12,865 lbs including body & equip.

Wow the standard F-1 was pretty light. My F-1 weighs about 4300pds with 2 tires off the scale.. Needless to say it has a 1973 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive chasis.. Thats interesting facts.

I don't know what my F7 weighs, but the Marmon-Herrington tag lists the GVW at 19000 lbs. Thanks for the info guys.
