dont quote me, but i belive the differences between 1/2 ton and 3/4 were more in the drive train then anything else.

..specifically the axels. 1/2 tons had 12 bolts out back, and usually a 10 bolt front (if 4x4)

3/4 tons i belive came with those bullit proof corprate 14 bolts out back?

or like a full-floater dana or something that you could put in a semi and drive it around.

other then that, it was an extra spring here, an extra bracket there, and of course...bragging rights..
