Nice picture, thanks. Pictures of 6500's are rare. I believe my '62 had a GVW of 32,000, having 9 Fronts and 23 Rears. My truck also had the Heavy Front Bumper, but I can't tell if it is the same as in the picture or not. I actually took a couple of shots of the truck back in the 70's. I have them in storage. I'll try to dig them out one day.
