I don't know, but doubt it. I believe the empty weight of a normal deuce is
like 13,000 lbs. Fully loaded is about 25,000 lbs (??) I can't find the
excellent site someone on list pointed us to months back which lists the
capacity of each series truck..
.... Just pulled up the photo of my trucks data plate. Payload capacity
listed at 10,000 pounds. The data plate is for an M35, a Deuce... looks (
to me ) like the original plates..
Maybe it's a 5 ton in disguise?
