Since the search won't let you search 3 letters then I guess I must ask... Talking about suspension wise. Frame the same? Does a C-20 have stiffer springs and heavier duty axle and brakes?

Thanks

a C/20 (3/4 ton) has stiffer springs, bigger brakes, heavy duty axle and hubs and front spindles, a much higher hauling limit (tow and cary) and much lower (higher numeracly) gears.
On the frames, the general frame is the same, however, on trucks with coils/trailin arm suspention in back, there's some reenforcements on the frame that the C/10 (1/2 ton) does not have.
Also, no SWB 3/4 tons were made.
