The section modulus number is slightly different between some 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton frames. I believe that has to do with the elasticity of the steel. In the real world I doubt that makes any noticeable difference.

My cousin's C-20 frame is thicker than my c-10 shortbed. It also has a few more small corner braces on his frame crossmembers and trailing arms than mine.
