not really, the cab and front ends on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks were the same as 1/2 ton. 1 1/2 ton and larger though have a totally different hood and fenders and grille. I like using grain trucks, they are in pretty good shape from spending most of their life in a shed.
except for the obvious badging differences though, most 3/4 and 1 tons were flat beds or long stepside beds, so if a shortbed is your goal you will need a short bed and shortbed running boards. look at coach's thread in the project section, he used a long bed on his project and its great.
