A C1406 with 3/4 or 1 ton suspension? Doesn't exist in the 1963 Truck Data Book.

What is a Suburban Panel?? Model lists C1400 not C1406, if that makes any difference.

doesn't that 'burb front hub/dust cap look like a 73-87 disc brake one? kind of short and flat?
my best pic of a 66 30 series..it looks a little different?

C1405 1/2 ton Panel with Barn Doors
C3605 1 ton Panel with Barn Doors
C1406 1/2 ton Suburban with Barn Doors
C1416 1/2 ton with Clam Shell rear doors
That's all the models in the 63 Truck Data Book.

why do you say 3/4 or 1ton suspension? because of its height difference? maybe its higher from no castiron lump between its rails.

**aerotruk63** · 03-31-2016, 08:54 PM

No iron lump between it's rails, you make that sound dirty Lepimp! lol

Well I would assume they would have used the heavier springs and other components if they were using the 3/4 ton axle front and rear.
