>>does any one know whether a 57 nose from a 1.5 ton will fit a 59 2.
5 ton.
Did they actually make a 2.5 ton?  I found a fellow who has one
Thank you

Stan, I don't think the '57 1-1/2 ton (4000 series) front clip will 
work on the '59 2-1/2 ton (8000 or 10,000 series).  The frame is 
taller (Heavy Duty) on the 2-1/2 ton.  You need to find a '58 or '59 
1-1/2, 2 or 2-1/2 ton (series 4, 6, 8 and 10) because they will all 
interchange.

Here is a quick break down of front clip match-ups:

55-57  1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton
55-57  1-1/2 and 2 ton
56-57  2-1/2 ton 

58-59  1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton
58-59  1-1/2, 2 and 2-1/2 ton

Hope this helps!
