Why would you start comparing an antique to a new truck as if it is a viable or even remotely comparable option?
What I got out of BM post,was the payload of 5355# is actually more than a lot of newer DRW and the newer SRW are not even close....I personally wonder why payload went backwards instead of forward in newer trucks.
Mostly because the curb weight of the trucks has steadily claimed, along with the number of seats, creature comforts and safety features. The GVWR probably is quite similar to or lower than modern trucks.
GVWR is what determines a truck's classification, and serves as a "glass ceiling" that many trucks end up bouncing off of. As they get heavier their payload gets smaller and smaller to remain in that same classification.
7201-10000 is a Class 2B. When you hit 10001, you are in Class 3 which is a whole new level of licensing, taxation and DOT requirements if used commercially such as for a contractor.
