About
The DC-6A is the freighter: the stretched DC-6 fuselage with large cargo doors fore and aft, a reinforced floor and no cabin windows, convertible back to passengers. Boeing tabulates it at two standards, 100,000 and 107,000 lb, and this row carries the higher — 48,534 kg, the same as the passenger DC-6B built on the same airframe.
