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! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

The long 158" wheelbase only came in C60L (60-cwt payload) form. See http://www.mapleleafup.net/vehicles/.../chevspec.html

There is always a "but".
There were 158" trucks, Ambulance and some Canadian made Australian? contract vehicles, that had features of lighter trucks (small steering joints and 16" tires). I believe they were listed as 3 ton but a casual observer might think they were either 30 cwt or a mix of "incorrect" parts. |

There were some ambulances that were 4x2 vehicles in longer wheelbases. I have a front axle ( Ford?) and it fits right into a standard CMP 13 cab chassis as it has a hollow tube with no gears and is not a drop type axle that many standard trucks of the era would use. The ends are not drive types but have kingpins, and one version (that is now found a new home) actualy had an extended kingpin with extra support underneath the axle to provide additional support. Going down the road such a vehicle would appear to be a 30 or 60cwt depending on wheel sizes used. It is an oddball!

The Australian Ambulance was on the 134" chassis and the Ford version was listed on the data plate as F60S although it has 16" wheels and 4 7/8" steering ends (the aforementioned 'small balls').
And to further cloud the waters the gun tractors were classed as a 3-ton chassis although they were on the 101" planform. Earlier ones (until 1942) had the 'small balls' because the larger 6" steering ends were not introduced until 1944. Quote:
