I have a Kiwi friend who assures me that the CCW had a heavier chassis than the CCKW to upgrade the carrying capacity to five ton. I don't believe this to be the case but have no way of checking it out myself so can someone give a definite answer on this point?
Part of the reason for asking, apart from stumbling across this thread, is that there has been a bit of argument going on on another forum about load ratings for the CCKW as to whether they were rated for five ton on-road and two and a half ton off-road or just two and a half ton regardless.
I have the TM 10-1565 for the Studebaker US6 and 6x4 and it clearly states 6x6=2 1/2 Ton, 6x4=5 Ton but fails to give exact differences between the two trucks so still doesn't help define the philosophy.
