Re: 3/4 or 1 ton -1940

Your truck is a beauty and it is a Tonner. The Tonner had 14 rear leaf springs. The 3/4 Ton had 13. All 4 rims on the Tonner are 17" in dia. Front brake drums are 12" in dia. Rear drums are 14" in dia. Attached is a photo of my Tonner with the OEM Ford 17" locking ring type rim and Firestone 700:17 bias ply tires shortly after I restored it. To set the record straight I had the centers of a spare set of rims machined out and welded to a radial style rim and put Michelin LT radials on it to improve driveability. This is the setup that you see in Alan's post of the Tonner. Congratulations on your new acquisition and having a loving wife who blessed you with such a gift!!!
