Not quite sure where to post this but this should be close. While removing grease from the front end of my '54 2 ton, I noticed two things I found interesting. The first happened while removing the front spindles. There is fair amount of green paint (really close to the 261 color) on the king pin portion of the axel. Did the green denote a 2 ton axel?

The other was on the front springs of the same truck. On the top side of the leaf at the back of the spring, I noticed a "22" stenciled there. Could this also denote a heavy duty or 2 ton front spring?

Just curious if somebody else has markings like this or has seen them. stressed
