Ford made the equivalent to a heavy 1-ton with a 4-speed and a Timken Detroit rear axle. They made so damn many 1 1/2-tonners during the war that they likely started converting the design to the 1945/46 civilian model with a V8 as the power plant. Ford started making trucks before the war was over in 1945 and they actually made a fair amount of them. The 59C was the 1/2-ton in 1945. The 59T was the heavier model with the longer 134" wheel base. They didn't label it as a 1-ton so that's why I generally refer to it as the equivalent since it could be a heavy 1-ton type with single rear wheels or a 1 1/2-ton with dual rear wheels. Basically it was just a truck. They also made the 598T 158" wheel base (larger) trucks. The Buss chassis were even longer 194" wheel base.

In 1947 they had three different light trucks. The 79C, 7GC, and the 7HC depending on which engine it had since 1947 was the intro of the later H series 6-cylinder. The next size was the 1-ton 122" wheel base and they were Y series with 79Y, 7GY, and 7HY. These 1-tons were introduced in 1946.
