    Single axle dump

    well, if you figure my 262B with VTS weighs +/- 10,000 lbs, then my 304 with cab and thumb weighs around 12,000.... i think that would be at the max end of a 10 ton, and I would really like to have air brakes..... hard to find on 10 tons... my dad has always had eager beavers, so that is...
