the guy I purchased it from said his father in law ordered the p/u new as a heavy duty 3/4 ton,claiming he had them install an extra leaf in each spring.(looks pretty stock as I can tell) it does appear to have a factory tranny cooler though, wich is a plus. the GVWR is 8000lbs other then that it looks pretty plain jane. thanks for the info.
joe,
