Justin:
The VIN decoders are OK for most standard installations, but they miss
most of the optional items. My father-in-laws '53 1-ton has a 9,600 GVW
according to the VIN plate, while my '50 GMC 1-ton parts truck has a
7,000 GVW according to the plate. Both have single rear wheels and the
same axle. The variation is in the optional rear axle (and front axle??)
springing.
