its a half ton with 3/4 ton stuff thrown under it.
The VIN says 1/2 ton
the coil spring rear was never offered in a one ton
the trailing arms look to be the 1/2 ton pieces with no 3/4 ton reinforcement plate steel welded on
the bed is only 8 feet, showing it is a 127 inch wheel base, which a 133 inche WB was the shortest one ton made 67 - 72

I'd call your insurance, and the DMV and let them all know it is not a one ton. Your insurance rates may drop, and depending on how your state taxes you for road use, your anual registration fees will probably drop too.
