30-cwt vs. 3-ton Difference
Can anyone her explain the difference between the 30wt and 3 ton trucks ??? I tried to do a search here with no luck and the few books I have seen do not really tell me what the difference is, They seem to be the same weight wise no ??

Differences
30cwt came with 16 inch rims and to my understanding came with the 137(?) inch wheelbase. The same wheelbase with 20 inch tires would be a C60S.
I'm sure springs, maybe dimensions on the frame might have been different but the tires are the main difference.

The 3 tons are 60 cwt so different weights. The 30 cwts had the smaller balls on the front rear end too.

20 hundredweight (cwt) is one ton.
30 cwt=1.5 ton.............................. 16 oz =1 pound (2.2 to the kilo) 112 pounds = 1 cwt. ( and so, 20 cwt to the ton) 1 ton= 2240 pounds. BTW. there are 63,360 inches in a mile and 240 pennies in the other kind of pound  Need I go on................Old people know this stuff..............It clogs up their memory banks. 56 pounds in a bushell. 9 gallons of beer in a firkin.......  Alright alright!................ I know!
