This thread is gold.

I do have 5 lug nuts on the axles, and purely by my recollection, the bed is probably the smaller size. So I'll move forward assuming half ton. I did assume I'd have some issues registering the vehicle in CA, but I'm more concerned with getting it running and driving first. Thanks for all the help Merle and everyone! I'll get a shop manual soon so I don't keep asking stupid questions.

It's a pickup. What's the best way to determine whether it's a 1/2 ton or a 3/4 ton? Can I measure axle size or count leaf springs? By the way, thanks for the timely reply!

Just picked this Dodge Truck up for a song, but I have pretty much no information on it. This will be my first foray into Classic Dodge, so I'm just a babe in the woods. I'll get pics up as soon as I can, but for now, here is a Commercial Title issued in 1963. Can anyone glean some information on it from the data here? Also, I have an inkling from nosing around under the hood that it is not the original engine. In any case, any info is appreciated. Hope to get to know everyone on the way to restoring this beauty! Those fees though...
