Does anyone know why the designations of "3500" "2500" & "1500" (Or
350/250/150 for the Ford people who are a tenth of the others) are used or
where they came from?

When some one says he has a "2500 Dooley" or "Suburban 2500", what exactly
does he have 3500 of?

(I get the relationship between 3500 and payload and axles and all that)

It could have been simple. Like boats used to be: One Ton. Half Ton. Quarter
Tonners, Fifty Footers, etc. 88/109/127/90/110/130... The name had a
relationship to the thing, which is what I'm trying to find here with
pickups and their numbers.

Maybe I'll e-mail that source of wisdom and knowledge at GM... Or maybe not.
I think I'll get more satisfaction (and learn more) from cleaning the
dryer's lint trap.
