No, the axle rating and pin weight aren’t directly related. Axle weight comes from the pin weight, but it includes the truck weight and weight distribution affects it. Payload is what determines the pin weight you can handle. You take the payload number and subtract the weight of everything you add to the truck including passengers, fuels etc. and what you have left is available payload.
Are you sure your 3500 only has 10,000lb GVWR? Your numbers look more like a 2500.
Okay so first I edited the post because I was on the phone and made a fat finger. It's a 2500 NOT 3500.
Thanks!
