Hello Mike,

You are the first person I have met with knowledge of my truck.

Thank you

What is the difference between a COE and a standard cab?

How can I tell what motor is in? 235 or ?

I have had a hard time finding brake and axle parts? any suggestions?

In the door it says 16,000 GVWR? Does that mean it is a 2ton?

Thanks in advance

David
