Thanks Grant. What was the difference between a 1542 and 1543? Not familiar with the coding system.

I do know X1,X2,X3 etc are export destination codes - see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...694#post147694

Edit - from the revised link I learned:

1542x3 3-ton 160" w.b.
1533x2 3-ton 134 1/2" w.b. with 9.00 x 16 wheels
1543x2 3-ton 160" w.b. with dual performance axle and 20x6 wheels and single rears

So the 1542 was a regular 3-ton 160" w.b. truck, while the 1543 was the same but with the Eaton 2-speed axle? If that what "dual performance axle" stands for, that is.
