Re: Considerations about gas mileage

What makes a 1/2 ton diffrent from a 3/4 ton a 1 ton from 2 ton Now 3ton we almost all Know is a Flat bed a bob tail or a box truck with a 15--22 inch box or steak bed.

But getting back to the 1/2 ton to the 1 ton frames what is the diffrence.
the 1968----72 Longhorn has a 133 wheel base and the 12 foot flat beds on the 3/4 to 1 ton has the 135 wheel bases but from other then that.What makes a 1/2 to diffrent from a 1 ton Frame



NOTHING the 1/2 frame is the same as the 1 ton frame when its in a 127 inches wheel base. So that dose not effect Gas milage.

I feel the chassic is what makes the diffrence on what the truck will be the front A arms and Rear End all the sheet metal is the same on the 1/2 ton to the 2 ton trucksand so on
