Bob C
The 1543X2 is a 160"wb 3 ton with 10.50-18 tires. The 1543X1 was the same with standard wheels and 7.00-20 tires (duals on rear) and the 1543X3 was also standard wheels and a 2 speed rear diff.

The X1 and X3 used standard front sheetmetal, while the X2 had wider guards to cover the 10.50 tires.
