Monster Man

hello all, I thought I was clear on the CUCV- that it had a 1 ton front and rear axle, the rear witha detroit.


Now, I have noticed conflicting information in three different spots- the first being a standard catalog of 4 wheel drives stating the obvious, that the K30 had a full floating 1 ton rear and a semi floating 1 ton front. The K20 had a semi floating rear, equivalent almost to the 1 ton but it was semi floating, and the front axle was weaker.



In the standard catalog of military vehicles, it says the CUCV was built off a 3/4 ton chassis with a 1 ton frontend. But how could that be if it has a full floating 14 bolt rear?



In Military Vehicle Magazines, it says the CUCV was just a 3/4 ton with "limited" slips front and rear, which is wrong



I just want to confirm what running gear this truck has? I'm looking to upgrade my Chevy truck in the future to a CUCV, if it has the best standard truck running gear available (well, I'll keep my NP205 unless I can find the CUCV with one), but am not sure I want to do that if it's only 3/4 ton. So is it a real 1 ton (or 1 1/4, whatever ) or just clever ratings by Uncle Sam?
