ian_s:
looking at the photos, i'd say its a 1ton as teh rear springs are on outriggers, set slightly further out on the axles
this gave them better stability when carrying heavy loads

But it lacks the extended spring hangers and shackles.  OneTons and some military chassis had extended spring hangers and shackles.

The rear spring outriggers may be like they are so that the cherry picker had more stability.

ian_s:
it does have the extended shackles on the rear, as there is 3 bolts through the shackle
i dont think front was any different

But the front spring hangers and shackles appear to be the standard length, but for it to be a OneTon, they need to be longer.
You have seen what a OneTon chassis looks like, havn't you?

EDIT:  This shows the extended spring hangers, but they arn't apparant on the 109-inch that Miniman owns.

I aint sure but am fairly certain that middle to late series 3 1 tons had standard rover axle on the front without the extended shackles, just a sailsbury with extended shackles on the back which it has.  The Truck is single owner so the Guy should know what he bought.
