37 Coupe Express

External Since: Jan 31, 2008 Posts: 3

I am restoring a 37 CE, and have a rusted out bed. No problem, I got
another nice one. Here's the question. This one HAD, on it, under the
tailgate, a little 3 x 4" metal plaque with what I think were the
words "1/2 TON". It was screwed on. Well, in shipping it home, the
plaque came off. I did not have one on the original bed, nor are
there holes for the small screws that held in the now missing one.
Was it usual or unusual? Does anyone have a picture of one? Thanks
for the time. Best, Don

I would assume the 1/2 tn plate was an add-on. Mine never had such and I
have never seen it on any other example.
