they are exactly the same.
the only difference of note is the panel frame and suburban frame have brackets rivited into holes that are on both frames.
frames for 1/2t are identical no matter what body from 47-53.
54/5 are the same.
GMC and chevy are different in several ways. GMC front rad support is DEEPER than chevy.
GMC also had a 1/2t LONGbed... that is NOT a 3/4t but is same wheelbase.
