The ton rating of these trucks was within a range from 1½-ton/2-ton (F-16) to 7-/8-ton (F-61). I'm not sure that the one of this truck can be identified with such a viewpoint... (1½-/2-ton F-16 to 7-/8-ton F-61. If I'm not mistaken, there were no C.O.E. models with a heavier ton rating in this truck line) _____ Edit: It has to be confirmed, but due to comparison between several documents (brochures and drivers' manuals) it appears that the F-61 was unveiled in 1938 only. The heaviest GMC COE truck in 1937 was apparently the 6-ton F-46. -- Last edit: 2015-12-20 03:06:22
