Hello folks,

This is my first time here, so thanks for your time.

My question for anyone that might know.
Is there any difference between a 1/2 ton frame and a 3/4 ton frame between 79-87. I know almost all of the body panels are interchangeable, but I'm looking a just the frames. I was told the steel is thicker on the 3/4 ton. But then a few guys have told me theres no difference.
Thanks again for your time
