Everybody jump in here! The = ton & 3/4 have different frames for sure (the
='s side rails are tapered back to front, while the 3/4 is straight). The 1
ton, I don't know. I believe the cabs, fenders, grills & doors for them are
all the same (1= ton & up get bigger pieces of parts, sans cab). A lot of
the springs & brake parts get bigger as you go up too (= to 3/4 to 1 ton),
as well, the drivelines are different (= ton was closed all the way until
54, 3/4 is closed from tranny to about 2/3 back & then rides open from a
carrier back to the diff., 1 ton, again, I don't know). The data books &
even the shop manuals have a lot of this information.
